Homemade Apple Pie Filling
Here’s a secret. It’s so much easier to make homemade apple pie filling than it seems. You won’t believe it, but it takes just a few ingredients and 10 minutes. And here’s the best part: there are so many different fall treats you can make with it.
Bacon Apple Pie Bites
Our bacon apple pie bites take sweet and salty to a whole new autumn level. You’ll love that they take just 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to bake. So make them once and take that first bite…I promise that you’ll want to make them again and again.
Caramel Apple Elephant Ears
These caramel apple elephant ears are probably the most fun idea on this list. We make them with homemade dough that we fry, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, top with our homemade apple pie filling, add a liberal drizzle of caramel sauce, and finish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…oh me, oh my!
By the way, I rarely see these at carnivals and fairs anymore, mostly just funnel cakes. 🤷
Apple Cider Rice Krispie Treats
Tasting is believing. And would you believe that these apple cider Rice Krispie treats actually taste like apple cider in Rice Krispie treat form? Well, they do. We tested many batches using powdered apple cider drink mix to get that instantly recognizable apple cider flavor. And guess what? So worth it.
Green Apple Caramel Gummy Pops
Our caramel green apple gummy pops feature a caramel candy inside a green apple gummy. I lost track of the number of tests it took to make them, but it was literally dozens. In the end, though, we finally came up with something cute and original that we haven’t seen anywhere else.
Easy Apple Crumble
You’ll love our easy apple crumble if you love our apple cobbler. They’re very similar but the crumble has brown sugar. Both are butter, sweet, and almost too good for words.
Caramel Apple Cobbler
We’ve made this caramel apple cobbler for years and finally published it last year. It’s like the best parts of a rustic apple pie minus the pie crust. In fact, I prefer it to pie for leftovers, as that crust can sometimes get soggy. The crumbly topping, tender apple filling made with our homemade apple pie filling, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream are the stuff fall dreams are made of.
Green Caramel Apple Rice Krispies Pops
I know, these green caramel apple Rice Krispie treats pops aren’t made with real apple, but hear me out. They’re so much fun that no one will care. We tested this recipe multiple times to make sure that mouth-puckering sour apple flavor shines through, then dipped them in caramel for the perfect sweet-and-sour treat. You have to make them this fall or for Halloween.

Invisible Apple Cake
There’s a lot to love about this Invisible Apple Cake from The Foodie Blogger. It melts in your mouth, and it looks fancy but is anything but. However, my favorite part is how the apple flavor shines through the light, delicate cake batter.
Easy Apple Fritter Rings
