If you’re looking for a pandemic-friendly activity that is sure to delight you and your roommates’ tastebuds for days, you’ve come to the perfect place! Keep reading for 5 incredible apple recipes (perfect for the novice baker like myself).

Apple Crisp

Approx. time: 1 Hour

Delish-meter: 5/5

This Old Fashioned Apple Crisp is always my go-to. Be sure to pair it with vanilla ice cream to make it even tastier.

Apple Pie

Approx. time: 1 Hour and 5 Minutes

Delish-meter: 4/5

If you are eagerly anticipating Thanksgiving like myself, then why not get started a little early! This apple pie recipe is perfect for beginners who may not want to try their hand at making the pie crust just yet, but if you are ready for the challenge be sure to look up a pie crust recipe before you start!

Apple Cobbler

Approx. time: 1 Hour and 10 Minutes

Delish-Meter: 4.5/5

If you’re an Apple Crisp fan, but you want more of a cake-like dessert, then apple cobbler is perfect for you. This recipe is a bit more complex than the two before it, but it’s the perfect fall challenge!

Apple Cake

Approx. time: 1 Hour and 30 Minutes

Delish-Meter: 4/5

If you’re anything like me you don’t typically think of cake when it comes to apple desserts, but you do not want to turn a blind eye to this recipe! As Betty Crocker states, feel free to add whipped cream, caramel coffee syrup, and a dash of cinnamon to take this recipe to the next level.

Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread

Approx. time: 30 Minutes

Delish Meter: 4/5

Want something as sweet as apple pie but less complicated? If so this Cinnamon Apple Pie bread is perfect for you. I can’t say I’ve tried this recipe before but it’s definitely next on my list!
