Over 20 of the BEST apple desserts to kick off the upcoming fall season! | Persnickety Plates

I’m not trying to rush away summer, but one of my Facebook friends shared this little chart showing the Michigan apple season harvest schedule and it got me excited for all things apple. I decided to put together a collection of some treats I have my eye on and some of my personal favorites that I’ve made.

20+ BEST APPLE DESSERTS

There is such a variety here – from fritters to cakes, bars to donuts, breads to muffins – apple is so versatile to bake with, you don’t have to settle for the typical apple pie!

Which kind of apple is your favorite? I usually reach for a Gala or Golden Delicious, Bob always goes for a Granny Smith.
