Fall Recipes Your Family Will Love
This time of year, our dutch oven and crock pot are put into overdrive cooking up some of our favorite fall recipes and warm comfort foods. Does your family have some favorite fall recipes? Well, whether you do or don’t you’re in for a treat. Just click on any of the recipes below for more details. I can’t wait to hear which recipe becomes a new staple in your kitchen.
Cinnamon Sugar Candied Almonds
These cinnamon sugar candied almonds remind me of crisp autumn days in November when we pick up our Thanksgiving turkey at a local farm. Theres always the aroma of roasted, sweet almonds wafting in the air from a food truck strategically parked nearby. We have to bring home not only our bird for the big day, but also a big ole bag filled with these sweet almonds. Now, we can make them at home whenever we want too in our slow cooker. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
Baked Maple & Cinnamon Donuts
I never ever have thought I needed a donut pan until now. Adam would literally flip over these maple cinnamon donuts. I’m seeing these in a near future, on a cold rainy football-filled fall day. How about you?
Hard Cider Pot Roast Recipe
Theres no meal that screams fall louder to me than a heart pot roast, and this recipe takes the autumn factor up a notch with an added secret ingredient…hard cider!
American Goulash
Goulash is such a simple, healthy meal that seriously warms us from the inside out. It even makes a fun meal for fall when you use these festive noodles to make your “gool”-ash (insert evil laugh here).
Caramel Apple Dip
‘Tis the season for entertaining, am I right? We love having family over for pumpkin decorating, movie nights, and football games this time of year, so I had to add some fall dips to this recipe collection. Caramel apples are a favorite in our home, so I know this dip would get gobbled up (pun intended). Click here for the full recipe.
Pumpkin Pie Muddy Buddies
I know the kids would love these pumpkin pie muddy buddies. Snacks are a must while entertaining, and a handful of these would definitely bring smiles to their faces.
Starbucks Pumpkin Pound Cake
How good does a warm slice of this pound cake sound, with a pad of butter and a hot latte on a cool autumn morning. Personally, I’d omit the nuts on top of the loaf, but you do you. (wink) Click here for this copycat Starbucks recipe.
Pork Roast with Sweet Potatoes, Apples, & Onions
I can smell this perfect autumn dinner now. What a perfect meal idea to add to your monthly meal plan, don’t ya think? It’s certainly one of our favorites.
Pumpkin Cookies Recipe
These are high on my baking list every fall. They are a family favorite and pair wonderfully with a mug of hot chocolate, coffee, or tea and are the perfect sweet treat for autumn days.
Tortellini Soup Recipe
We simply can’t get enough soup recipes. My husband could live on soup most months out of the year, and let’s be honest, there’s just something so homey and comforting about a big pot of soup stewing away on the stove all day, isn’t there? I can’t wait to try this recipe that chock full of vegetables and warm puffs of noodles…
Apple Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread
I’m not sure what to even say about this recipe. I mean, need I say more? It’s apple cinnamon pull apart bread. There’s simply nothing tastier or more fall.
Caramel Apples
One of our favorite activities in the fall is to make homemade caramel apples. They usually are a hot gooey mess, which really doesn’t bother us. However, it would be nice for them to a little more picturesque like these beauties. We can’t wait to try this recipe and see if our apples stay together long enough for toppings and decorating.
Easy Caramel Apple Nachos
I think these caramel apple nachos just might be the perfect snack for this years annual pumpkin decorating/carving party with our nieces and nephews. They are so simple and tasty.
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Skillet Cake
I think this absolutely gorgeous skillet cake would be the perfect centerpiece at an autumnal brunch, don’t ya think?
Pumpin Pie Overnight Oatmeal
This simple recipe will quickly become one of our family’s favorite breakfasts, I’m sure. It calls for pumpkin puree and steel cut oats combined with milk and pumpkin pie spice. Let them simmer cook overnight in your crock pot, and wake up to a warm, comforting bowl of goodness. Top with a pad of butter, a splash of cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to make it even yummier.
Butterfinger Ice Cream Pumpkins
How fun are these Butterfinger pumpkin ice cream “sundaes”? Grab your favorite ice cream flavor and crush a few butterfingers in order to create these cute little pumpkins. For complete directions, click here.
Easy Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip
How scrumptious does this recipe sound? Serve it up with Vanilla Wafer cookies, pretzels, and/or cinnamon graham crackers.
Apple Cider Cupcakes
I can’t do a recipe round up without adding in cupcakes, since they’re my favorite thing on the planet (other than coffee, of course). These apple cider cupcakes sound divine and I can’t wait to make them.
Pumpkin Beer Pretzels with Chipotle Queso
Who doesn’t love salter, buttery carbs?! These soft pretzels take beer bread to the next level with a pumpkin brew, making them perfect for fall. Then, they are paired with a spicy chipotle queso cheese sauce for dipping, making them absolutely divine. I can’t wait to try this recipe and all of her soft pretzel recipes.
Rigatoni Meatball Soup
This time of year I crave melty, cheesy Italian flavors and this soup hits all the right spots for me. I can’t wait to give it a try. How about you?
Crockpot Pumpkin Spiced Latte
Of course I had to include a pumpkin spiced latte recipe for this recipe round up, and this crockpot recipe seemed absolutely perfect. And, it reheats really well so you can enjoy it for several days. This would be the perfect addition to your festive breakfasts or brunches in the fall.
