Our Favorite Healthy & Delicious Fall Apple Recipes

Fall is just around the corner and that means fresh, crisp apples will soon be back in season! 

Our favorite place to find fresh fall apples is right where the Lord placed them – on an apple tree! There’s nothing as delicious as a fresh-picked ripe apple, which is why we recommend taking a fun family outing to go apple picking at a nearby orchard. This not only helps to support a local farmer in your area, but also ensures that your apples are truly fresh. Or if apple picking isn’t an option, it fairly easy at this time of year to find some fresh-picked organic apples at your local farmer’s market.

What’s a family to do with all of their big baskets of fresh-picked apples? Well, that’s why we’ve put together this delicious round-up of our favorite gluten-free, healthy apple recipes. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Cinnamon Apple Breakfast Favorites

Fine-diced apples are a delicious addition to breakfast porridges like our favorite Make-Ahead Cinnamon-Apple Overnight Oats, and scrumptious Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Bake. By the way, whether your grain-free or not, you’re certain to adore my personal favorite Cinnamon-Apple Breakfast Porridge.

Apple-Cinnamon Muffins

Made with light and fluffy blanched almond flour, these tasty little grain-free Apple-Cinnamon Muffins are so scrumptious! With just one bite, we’re ready to go apple picking all over again!

Apple Streusel Upside Down Cake

Apple Chicken {or Turkey} Salad

Apples are a delicious addition to chicken salad, like our favorite Grilled Chicken Salad. And when Thanksgiving arrives and leftovers are hanging out in the fridge, it’s easy to just dice an apple to create an incredible Apple-Turkey Salad.

Apple Carrot Coleslaw

If your kids (and/or spouse) aren’t big fans of classic coleslaw recipes, this amazing Apple Carrot Coleslaw is just the trick! By adding thinly sliced apples to the mix and tossing it all together with a creamy poppy dressing, you create a sweet-n-tangy slaw with a delicious burst of crunchy apple flavor in every bite!

Slow Cooker Applesauce

Our favorite Slow Cooker Applesauce is perfect for making with your kids. This lightly spiced version uses pure apple juice and maple syrup, with just a hint of cinnamon, to accentuate the sweetness of the apples. So yummy!
