57 Fall Dessert Recipes to Make This Autumn
Not to be a total bummer, but I’m always a little sad when autumn comes around. Don’t get me wrong, there are TONS of things I love about the season, but I always catch myself longing for those warm, sunny days of Summer to come back.
But, with Fall being officially here, it's time to embrace all that it has to offer. The main one for me being desserts.
Not only is there pumpkin everywhere (which automatically makes life ten times better #sorrynotsorry), but it's also the best time to bake with the air turning cool and crisp.
Baking when it’s 90 degrees outside? No thanks. But using an oven in the fall? No problem!
To keep myself focusing on all of the positive and delicious things Fall has to offer, I’ve come up with this amazing list of 57 Fall Desserts.
And, yes, I intend to make them all.
