First up is the Dark Chocolate S'mores Pie recipe, which comes from the book "The S'mores Cookbook" by Susan Whetzel (Adams Media). It's topped with toasted marshmallow and uses a chocolate graham cracker crust for the ultimate decadent taste experience. For a dessert you can make in a pinch, you can't go wrong with the Dark Apple Pie S'mores (pictured above), which comes from the same book. Instead of chocolate, this recipe relies on cinnamon chips and apple butter, which pair perfectly with a toasted marshmallow and graham cracker.
This recipe goes great with apples picked fresh from the orchard. Why not take the kids and pick them over a fall weekend, then come home to make your own cupcakes? The Caramel Apple Cupcakes recipe comes from the book "The Cupcake: Life's Better With a Cupcake," published by Parragon Books.
Football season means it's time for some game day desserts! We love these adorable Football Rice Krispie Treats. The recipe comes from the book "The Rice Krispies Treats® Cookbook" by Norman Kolpas and published by Weldon Owen. If you're in the mood for tailgating food, check out our favorite tailgating recipes, from drinks to main courses and desserts.
Do you crave a bite of Thanksgiving flavor as the air turns crisp? Try these Pecan Mini Pies with Bourbon, a recipe from the book "Mini Pies: Adorable and Delicious Recipes for Your Favorite Treats" by Christy Beaver and Morgan Greenseth (Ulysses Press). If you or someone in your household has nut allergies, perhaps you'd prefer a sweet potato version. Enter Sweet Potato Mini Pies with Nutmeg, a recipe featured in the same book.
Apple butter is a staple of fall menus, with its sweet and warm flavor profile. Make your own with the recipe from the book "The Joy of Jams, Jellies, and Other Sweet Preserves" by Linda Ziedrich. Spread it on homemade, buttermilk biscuits for a great breakfast or after-dinner treat. For a less expected jam, check out the recipe for Pomegranate Jelly, which is featured in the book "The Art of Preserving" by Lisa Atwood, Rebecca Courchesne and Rick Field (Weldon Owen).
What's a fall dessert menu without the syrupy warmth of melted caramel? One of our favorite recipes is for Salted Pecan Caramel Donuts, which perfectly balances salty and sweet. You can make your own homemade caramel by boiling brown sugar, cream, and corn syrup. This donuts recipe is excerpted with permission from "Donuts" by Elinor Klivans and published by Weldon Owen.
