Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts with Cinnamon Maple Glaze

Every ounce of me wishes we could all be together so you could really see and feel the excitement for this beautiful time of year. September marks the beginning of the best four months of the entire year, and I embrace the spirit of the season every single day.

There’s just something about September. The excitement builds for everything that’s ahead — crisp September apples, the changing light, leaves turning from shades of yellow to red, cooler weather, fall fashion, crockpot dinners, and a schedule filled with all of fall’s magic and sparkle.

So, ahead of the long weekend, here are all of our favorite apple recipes. In September, apples take center stage — pumpkin can wait just a little longer!

The season has officially arrived at the markets too. Those sweet Honeycrisp apples are finally here, and they’ve already inspired a new round of apple recipes. There’s much more to come, so stay tuned.

For now, here are 30 apple recipes to bake, cook, and enjoy all season long.
