I have a thing for apples, especially in the Fall, so there are quite a few apple recipes on my blog. When I realized how many, I thought that a quick roundup of The Best Apple Desserts was called for!

The Best Apples for Baking
With so many varieties of apple at the store (and the orchard!), which ones are best for baking? First of all, make sure the apples you're choosing are ripe and firm, with no bruising or damage from pests. The best ones will smell lovely, too!
My personal favorite apple varieties for baking are Cortland, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Jonathan. These varieties will hold up well for all your Fall bakes! Keep in mind that some varieties are sweeter than others, so have a taste before baking! My go-to apple combination for pies is the sweet Gala paired with the tart Granny Smith for well-founded flavor!
Without further ado, here is the recipe roundup!

Apples and apple cider are such a fantastic addition to cakes and cupcakes! That warm, cozy flavor is just what you need in the Fall months!
