9 Fall Baking Ideas to Inspire You

With weather changing, and temperatures cooling down, fall is the perfect time for baking. In this post by Great Harvest of Newtonville, we’ll give you some delicious fall baking ideas from pies, to rolls, to cookies; there’s something for everyone.

Everything Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a staple of fall, and for a good reason, its versatility is such that you can make so many different recipes ranging from sweet to savory. Here are some pumpkin-based recipe ideas to bake next.

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is the darling of fall and Thanksgiving, and no fall table would be complete without it. Pumpkin pie can range from the traditional to dressed-up versions, but all of them have in common pumpkin puree, and whether you choose to make it from scratch or a can, you can be assured it will be delicious.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Think of pumpkin cinnamon rolls as the perfect marriage between pumpkin pie and cinnamon rolls. These are perfect for taking to the next cookout as they’re usually crowd-pleasers. Make sure to warm them up before serving, and include enough cream cheese frosting for a decadent touch.

Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin bread is the understated cousin of pumpkin pie. Pumpkin bread is a great fall baking idea for those looking for a less sweet dessert that can even pass for breakfast.

Apple and Cinnamon

There’s something about apple and cinnamon that screams fall. It might be because fall is apple picking season or because a crip apple tastes just great during fall, but whatever the reason, here are some fall baking ideas to fill your apple craving.

Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls

Like pumpkin cinnamon rolls, apple cinnamon rolls bring together two fall staples for a delicious dessert treat. Apple cinnamon rolls can be topped with delightful crumble, as you would a pie, or with cream cheese frosting. Make them with granny smith apples for a tangy filling or with honey crisps for a sweeter filling.

Old Fashioned Apple Pie

Apple pie is a dessert that you shouldn’t miss in your fall baking ideas. Apple pie can be a beautiful centerpiece to your fall gatherings with unique crust designs from lattice to cut-outs, and you can pair it with vanilla ice cream. Who said apple pie isn’t versatile?

Hand Apple Pies

Hand apple pies are a delicious and convenient way to enjoy apple pie. Making a batch is easy and quick and can be made and taken for dessert on the go; they’re also the perfect size for children’s lunch boxes. For extra fun, cut out the crust with a cookie cutter in fun fall shapes like leaves, apples, or for a Halloween twist: ghosts.

Cookies that Scream Fall

Cookies, but more specifically, spiced cookies, are also a great idea for fall baking. Spices like clove, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cardamom are the spices of fall and the key to making delicious cookies. Here are some ideas for cookies where spices and fall flavors shine.

Soft Molasses Cookies

Soft molasses cookies that are perfectly spice have the quality of being reminiscent of grandma’s kitchen while at the same time being a little bit spicy. Made with dark brown sugar, molasses, and spices like ginger, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon, these cookies are almost like taking a bite of a delicious pie crust.

Maple Brown Sugar Cookies

Maple brown sugar cookies fall more on the sweeter side of fall cookies, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try them. These cookies have crispy edges and chewy centers and are perfectly buttery. They are also made with natural maple syrup for more depth of flavor.

Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles come in many different presentations; some recipes make a flatter cookie, while others are soft and thick, but what all snickerdoodles have in common is that they���re quick to make and that they’re a classic. What characterizes a snickerdoodle is its unmistakable taste of cinnamon and the outer coat of sugar.
