I don’t know what it is about the fall, but I love baking during this time of the year. The warmth of the kitchen and the smell of freshly baked cookies is always even more amazing during this time of the year. Here are some fun fall treats that will be perfect for your family dinner, Halloween party, or lazy night at home! Most of them are super easy, plus you’re likely to impress all of your guests.

Apple Pie – This is one of those essential fall recipes. If you have time, you can even pick your own apples, or the ones at the grocery store work just as well too! If you’re feeling crazy you can even add some vanilla ice cream on the side as well.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies – Some people love pumpkin flavoring, some not so much, but these will make you fall in love with the flavor. You’re able to have the pumpkin flavoring while also including the comfort of chocolate chips.

I know I said that these would be good recipes to make but if you’re feeling lazy and really want to have something good you can never go wrong with Pilsburys shaped sugar cookies. They are easy and ready to bake, all you have to do is preheat your oven and eat them! They even have pumpkins and ghosts on them to really get you into the fall spirit. I hope this article made you want to go and bake some fall treats because it sure made me want too!
