FAQS

  • Pumpkin. Most recipes that use pumpkin call for canned pumpkin puree. Be sure you don’t accidentally buy canned pie filling or seasoned pumpkin.
  • Apples. Choose apples that hold their structure when baked (typically, the more tart apples): Honeycrisps, Pink Lady, Braeburn, Jonagold, and Granny Smith. 
  • More fall fruits perfect for baking with or adding a fruit topping to a delicious dessert: pear, grape, persimmon, cranberry, fig, key lime, pomegranate, banana, kiwifruit, lemon, mango, pineapple, or raspberry.
  • When hosting a fall party, I like to plan for guests to be able to have 2 servings of dessert.
    • 10 guests: Serve 2 desserts (10 servings of each dessert for a total of 20 servings) 
    • 30 guests: Serve 3-4 desserts (total of 60 servings)
    • 50 guests: Have 5-6 dessert choices (total of 100 servings)
  • Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice is one of our favorite spices to use because you get the taste of fall flavors in every bite. It’s a perfect blend of ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg!
  • Fall is known for its delicious pies. We have a wonderful Easy Pie Crust recipe that contains tips and tricks on how to mix up flavorful tender crust.
  • Make ahead of time. Whether you’re making one batch or ten, most of the desserts on this list can be fully made ahead of time or partially prepared so all you have to do is mix and bake. 
  • STORE. To make a large amount ahead of time be sure that you have enough room in the fridge or freezer to store them all. You can also choose a dessert that can be fully prepared and kept at room temperature for 1-2 days.
