Pumpkin Brownies
If you’re a pumpkin lover like me, these pumpkin brownies are going to be a game-changer. We’ve started with a brownie box mix to keep things super simple.
Soft Pumpkin Spice Cookies
And I have just the thing for you, soft pumpkin cookies with a cream cheese frosting. Trust me here; these are not just any sweet fall snack; they are delicious indulgences.
Pumpkin Cookies With Cake Mix
These Pumpkin Cookies made with Spice Cake Mix are super, super easy to throw together. Three ingredients and you are done, son.
Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes
I have the perfect pumpkin treat for you—our recipe for Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes. These cupcakes are soft, fluffy, and topped with creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting.
Mini Pumpkin Cakes
These single-serving pumpkin cakes are not just any cakes. They are topped with a rich and indulgent caramel frosting made with buttercream.
Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cake
This mini bundt pumpkin cake simply and easily doctors up a box of spice cake mix.
Pumpkin Crazy Cake
This Pumpkin Spice Cake, which has no eggs, butter, or milk (in the batter), is an interesting alternative to traditional cakes. It is moist, flavorful, and bursting with cozy pumpkin spice flavor!
Pumpkin Hand Pies
When baked, the puff pastry turns crisp and golden, the layers separating just enough to cradle the spiced pumpkin filling. The mixture of pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice thickens in the oven, perfuming the kitchen with warm cinnamon and clove.
Pumpkin Filled Crescent Rolls
Just imagine the aroma of pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice wafting through your kitchen. Then, imagine those flavors wrapped in golden, flaky crescent dough.
Pumpkin Biscuits
Just picture it-warm, buttery, flaky homemade biscuits infused with pumpkin. You can serve them drizzled with honey or with apple butter.
Apple Dapple Cake
There’s a certain kind of comfort I chase every fall—the kind that smells like cinnamon, apples, and something baking slow in the oven. That’s exactly what inspired this Apple Dapple Cake.
Apple Cinnamon Muffins
If you like a crumb topping, I’ve included steps to add it on these tender cinnamon apple muffins.
Apple Pie Filling Muffins
These apple pie filling muffins come from just three ingredients, a box of spice cake mix, a can of apple pie filling, plus eggs. You get tender, sweet muffins without the fuss of homemade.
Apple Cinnamon Rolls
We love easy here, and I had to run this by you guys: a simple can of Grands Cinnamon Rolls levels up with a simple addition of apple pie filling.
Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls
These apple pie cinnamon rolls use cut and quartered canned cinnamon rolls folded into a can of apple pie filling then drizzled with that little can of vanilla icing that comes with the rolls.
Apple Fritter Monkey Bread
I’ve discovered that morning comfort food reaches new heights with this Apple Fritter Monkey Bread that brings bakery-quality flavor right to my home kitchen.
Apple Cinnamon Biscuit Loaf
This apple cinnamon biscuit loaf is pull-apart bread wearing its Sunday best: canned flaky-layer biscuit halves dipped in melted butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar, layered in with chopped apple pie filling, then baked in a loaf pan.
Apple Coffee Cake
You get this apple coffee cake by combining a soft vanilla cake with a ribbon of apple pie filling and a thick cinnamon crumble that bakes into craggy, golden clusters.
Apple Crisp
Why not let a handful of pantry ingredients do all the work this time around with this easy apple crisp?
Apple Cobbler
What’s great about this apple cobbler is that the topping isn’t just a pale, flavorless biscuit-style breading, often the standard when it comes to a southern-style cobbler.
Apple Dump Cake
Apple dump cake has been around almost as long as the boxed cake mix and canned pie filling. Combine the two with some pats of butter and you get a sweet casserole that is like a fruit cobbler with a crackly top.
Apple Pie Bread Pudding
This apple pie bread pudding uses a loaf of sliced brioche bread (I think they even still sell this at Aldi) and your base is ready. It’s a sweet dessert as is, but add a little ice cream on the side if you want that fancy touch.
Apple Pie Filling Cookies
These soft apple pie filling cookies use just four ingredients: a spice cake mix, unsweetened applesauce, chopped apple pie filling, and a caramel drizzle.
Apple Rose Tarts
I’ve been excited to show you this recipe for Apple Rose Tarts—little treats that look like delicate roses!
Baked Cinnamon Apple Slices
Nothing beats the smell of baked cinnamon apple slices in the oven—it’s like the kitchen’s giving me a warm hug.
Cake Mix Snickerdoodles
These Cake Mix Snickerdoodles are one of those cookies you can put in front of your treat lovers in just a few minutes.
Cinnamon Cupcakes
Are you curious about what you can make with your box cake mix? How about using it to bake cinnamon cupcakes?
Cinnamon Roll Poke Cake
When warm cake meets spiced sugar and cream cheese frosting, you get a dessert that is equal parts tender, sticky, and fragrant. The yellow cake soaks up a buttery stream of sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon, leaving it moist all the way through.
TikTok Cinnamon Rolls
As these cinnamon rolls bake, the cream softens the dough and creates a custard-like richness. A butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture melts into syrup between the spirals.
Honey Bun Cake
This cake takes delicious to the next level with buttery layers, a rich cinnamon sugar swirl, and an oh-so-creamy frosting.
Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
In the USA, the most popular type of cookie is chocolate chip! Whether it’s plain, chocolate chip with peanut butter, or chocolate chip pecan cookies, people just can’t get enough.
Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies
There’s something about these soft and chewy cookies in a combo of sweet white chocolate and tangy dried cranberries that just works. These cookies are soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and easy to make when you’re craving something a little extra without a ton of effort.
Cranberry Curd Tart
This recipe for cranberry curd tart is a twist on the New York Times’ Cooking tried-and-true version but mine uses a cornflake crust instead of hazelnuts.
The bottom line
This collection of fall baking ideas has a sprinkling of the spices and flavors of pumpkin, spice, apple, cinnamon, and more.
