13 Festive Fall Apple Recipes

This apple recipes post is sponsored by Foodie.com.

I know pumpkin gets to be the star of the fall show, but aside from pancakes and cream cheese, I’m really not all that into it. Apples, on the other hand, I can’t get enough of. I’m still sad we didn’t make it apple picking this year.

Even though I didn’t leave an orchard with bushels of apples to bring home, I’m still obsessed with this forgotten fall fruit in every shape and form – from apple butter to hot paninis, cider cinnamon rolls to savory salads and marinades.

Here are 13 great apple recipes to get your meal-making wheels turning for the season. From tasty treats to healthy eats, here you go!

12 Cocktails & Sweets for Mother’s Day Brunch

Roundups

What makes for a perfect Mother’s Day Brunch? Cocktails and sweets, of course!

Usually there’s only one foodie-type holiday a month. New Years. Valentine’s. St. Patty’s. Thanksgiving. You get the idea.

But May has a multitude: Mother’s Day, my birthday, Memorial Day… Oh, my birthday isn’t on your list? 😉

We start the month off honoring moms with breakfasts, brunches, and lunches, and we close May out with the official kick off to summer. Although I wouldn’t mind if summer just kicked itself off now, with open pools and fired up grills. The 90 degrees can hold off though.

Anyways, what better way to honor mom than giving her a shift off of meal prep? {Ok, perhaps a weekend off or {amd?} a massage would top that.} But let’s at least start with a nice breakfast. Better yet, brunch, so mom can sleep in. {ha.}

Here are are 12 of my favorite brunch-esque recipes that would be perfect for Mother’s Day, or any special occasion. From scones to cinnamon rolls and even some {ok a lot of} brunch-appropriate cocktails, here you go!

Here’s my semi-Super-Bowl-themed collection, given the upcoming game and it’s affinity for snack-attack inducing behaviors.

Need some foodie pinspiration? Lindsay’s throwing a pin party! Here are some of my favorite pin-worthy recipes. Feel free to link to yours in the comments.

Oh and follow me on Pinterest!

Creme de Menthe Brownie Balls: Chocolaty, minty, and just happen to be vegan.

Mojito Pina Colada Cupcakes: The flavors of a mojito and a pina colada all crammed into a delicious gluten free cupcake. Feel free to sub AP or whole wheat flour if gluten free doesn’t float your boat.

Broiled Grapefruit A fun way to squeeze some extra fruit into your diet with this healthier dessert alternative.

Smoothie Shortcuts Smoothies are great but sometimes you just don’t have the time to get all those ingredients together. These make it super simple to start your day off on the right foot.

Homemade Iced Coffee I’m a HUGE iced coffee fan. Putting leftover coffee in the fridge just doesn’t cut it. Try this simple approach and you’re at home iced coffee will forever be changed for the better.

Salted Caramel Shortbread: A vegan version of the beloved Millionaire’s Shortbread. So, so good.

Cinnamon rolls are my downfall. I love them. Obsessed. I have a million versions. These are some of my favorite. {Hint: make them the night before then pop them in the oven the next morning for an easy and delicious breakfast.}
