Happy Fall! 🍂
The beautiful fall season is here, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner!!🍽️
Have you decided on the menus already?
I just started thinking of what I would bake a few days ago. So today, I decided to share a list of my favorite recipes for Fall Baking.
Here are 18 Thanksgiving dessert ideas!
I categorized it into pies, cakes, cupcakes, and "something different".
Pies
Mini Apple Pies
A small version of a classic apple pie recipe! I love them because they are easy to transfer, there is no need to slice them, and you can enjoy the flaky pie crust from 360 degrees. Bake them in any small tart pans or dishes.
Apple Hand Pies
The hand pies are a great choice for casual parties where people can grab and eat them whenever they want. The pie crust always feels super flaky with them. I also love that the baking time is much shorter!
Classic Apple Pie
Or, you can never go wrong with everyone's favorite, a classic apple pie. Enjoy the warm pie as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Key Lime Pie
If you love tangy desserts, I highly recommend trying this key lime pie! The filling is perfectly creamy and smooth, and it tastes so dreamy with fluffy whipped cream topping.
Caramel Apple Galette
Try this apple galette recipe if you don't mind spending a bit more time. The melty caramel apple filling, flaky pie crust, caramel sauce, and a scoop of ice cream taste exceptional - So rich and flavorful, and totally worth the effort!
Cakes
Pumpkin Spice Bread
It's a great choice for all pumpkin dessert lovers. It is super moist and soft. And it tastes so pumpkin! The crumbly streusel topping is a perfect touch!
Red Velvet Cake
This red velvet cake will "Wow" your guests! It is incredibly moist and soft - One of the most popular recipes among my viewers.
New York Cheesecake
Are you a cheesecake lover? Then, give this recipe a try! The baked cheesecake filling is very creamy, silky-smooth, and not overly sweet.
Banana Bread
Here is a recipe for you if you love baking banana bread during the fall season! It is so soft and moist - As moist as it can get!
Chocolate Banana Cake
This might not be really a Thanksgiving dessert, but I want to include this one since many of you LOVED it! It'll be a perfect choice if you want an easy, very moist chocolate cake.
Lemon Pound Cake
I recommend it if you love lemony desserts. It is perfectly citrusy, moist, and soft. You can also bake it in smaller loaf pans, a bunt cake pan, etc.
Cupcakes / Muffins
Red Velvet Cupcakes
You can make them more quickly than a red velvet cake. The soft cupcakes and tangy cream cheese frosting would be a hit for your family!
Pumpkin Muffins
They are a smaller version of my pumpkin spice bread. They are super moist and soft, and the steps are very easy! My family loves them🧡
Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls
These sweet potato dinner rolls are so moist and soft! The subtle flavors of sweet potato, honey, and butter all go perfectly together. The bread became my favorite bread for the Holiday season!
Surprise your guests with something different.
Lemon Meringue Tart
The lemon tart will surely be a hit for all lemon dessert lovers. You can also arrange the recipe and make a lemon meringue pie.🍋 (Check out my key lime pie recipe for the graham cracker crust.)
Chiffon Cake
It'll be a great choice if you want something very light and fluffy. The pumpkin chiffon cake tastes just like a pumpkin pie in a fluffy way. Make the basic vanilla chiffon cake to frost it with whipped cream and fresh fruits, or serve a slice with them on a plate!
Madeleines
The bite-size French pastries are always popular in my family since they can casually grab and eat them. My daughter eats them one after another if I don't stop her lol. Pick from the vanilla, lemon, or chocolate flavors.
Créme Brûlée
Try the creme brulee if you want to go fancy this year! You can make it ahead like a day before and finish the caramel on top right before serving. Both the vanilla and chocolate creme brulee taste incredibly smooth, creamy... and are hands down the best creme brulees I've ever had.
4 Kinds Of Classic Chewy Cookies From 1 Dough
These cookies will be a hit if your family loves chewy cookies! Make 4 classic chewy cookies from just one cookie dough with my simple tricks!
And that is it!!!
Did you find your favorite?🥰
Those are just ideas, so if you have a completely different menu in mind, go for it!!! Enjoy the family event in your own way. You can make one dessert or a few if you like.
Also, make something very easy or even skip baking this year - the most important thing is for you to have fun! Baking is to create precious memories, but not as an obligation.
Happy Fall!
