Apple Cinnamon Recipes FAQ:
What are the easiest apple cinnamon baked goods to make in a batch?
Apple cinnamon muffins, quick breads and apple bars are great options if you want to bake once and enjoy all week. These comforting dessert recipes are easy to double and freeze well, so you can stash extras for busy mornings or unexpected guests. Opt for fall baking recipes that use pantry staples and don’t require shaping or filling, like simple loaves or sheet pan bakes.
What fall baking recipes are good to have for breakfast?
Many apple cinnamon baked goods work just as well with coffee in the morning as they do as a sweet ending after dinner. Soft apple coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls with apple filling and apple-stuffed French toast are all good options that blur the line between breakfast and dessert. For something extra, serve with spiced yogurt or fresh fruit for a fall-inspired touch.
What other spices can I add to cinnamon apple desserts?
Spices like nutmeg, cloves and ginger all bring extra warmth to apple cinnamon desserts. A pinch of cardamom adds something unexpected, while allspice deepens the flavor in comforting dessert recipes like crisps or pies. Just be sure not to overpower the cinnamon—it should still be the star. For best results, stick with one or two extra spices and taste as you go.
