What Desserts Can You Make with Apples?
Apples can be prepared and eaten several ways, making them one of the most versatile fruits! You can eat an apple whole, sliced and dipped, cut up into dessert salad, baked, or turned into apple sauce. I typically use granny smith apples, but you can use your favorite variety!
Many recipes in the list below include cake mix, cream cheese, cinnamon, caramel or chocolate, all popular ingredients to use with apples! The fact that these recipes share some common ingredients makes shopping easier, which is super helpful when you’re busy with school or work.

Each recipe has delicious serving ideas or variations as well: enjoy your cake with vanilla ice cream, serve the dip with cookies or more apple slices, and grab an applesauce bar for a quick after-school treat!
