- Pumpkin: Fall is synonymous with pumpkins. Fresh pumpkins can be roasted, and their flesh used in pies, soups, muffins, and cakes. However, many prefer the convenience of canned pumpkin puree.
- Apples: Apples, available in numerous varieties, are versatile for desserts, breakfast, and savory dishes alike. Check out our roundup of apple recipes for detailed guidance on selecting the perfect apples for baking.
- Squash: Varieties like butternut squash, acorn squash, and spaghetti squash are commonly used in soups, risottos, and as side dishes. Recipes like microwave acorn squash or air fryer butternut squash halves make tasty vegetable side dish.
- Sweet Potatoes: A holiday staple, sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene. They can be roasted to make healthy mashed sweet potatoes or used in desserts such as pies and sweet potato souffle or casseroles for Thanksgiving.
- Cranberries: These dark red and tart berries are widely used to make cranberry sauce, as well as in muffins, bread, and desserts. Check out our recipe for orange cranberry sauce!
Warm Fall Spices
- Cinnamon: A quintessential spice of fall, used in both sweet and savory dishes. It's prevalent in baked goods, coffee drinks, and spice blends.
- Nutmeg: Often paired with cinnamon in fall baking, nutmeg adds warmth and depth to dishes. I prefer to buy whole nutmeg because, unlike ground cinnamon, it's best when freshly grated rather than purchasing pre-ground versions in jars.
- Pumpkin spice: It is a popular blend of spices frequently used in fall and winter baking. Known for its warm and aromatic qualities, it enhances pumpkin-based desserts such as pies, muffins, cakes, and beverages like lattes and hot chocolates. The blend typically includes ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and occasionally allspice.
