Caramel apple pie is a fall staple. This version of the beloved classic uses brown sugar and salted caramel sauce that will surely appeal to the palates of those used to mixing sweet with salty. Pumpkin and sweet potato are two of the few fall favorites that don’t often go together when it comes to dessert. Mix the two using this sweet potato and pumpkin pie recipe. The flavors of the two are spicy and deep, making the pie the perfect Thanksgiving dessert.

Who doesn’t love a good carrot cake? With equal amounts spicy, sweet, creamy, and healthy, this carrot cake recipe is a no-fuss dessert and a delicious treat for those watching what they eat. The fitness world maintains an affinity with coconut oil, and this pumpkin muffin recipe shows just how good coconut oil is as an ingredient for healthy desserts.

Javier Burillo loves a good gingerbread. Made with maple pecan butter sauce, the sweet potato gingerbread takes a bit more effort to make than others on the list, but it sure is worth it. Individuals working late and looking to have a fall snack will love the 1-minute brown sugar and cinnamon apples recipe.
