Kids and Fall fun go hand-in-hand, so kids will love a few desserts for Fall that are specifically meant for them to enjoy, wouldn’t you agree? Good thing there are so many kid-approved desserts for Fall that the whole family can enjoy! Take a look at the following ideas I’ve come up with!
Caramel apples are a famously kid-approved Fall treat. But there is a way to make them even better {and less of a mess!}. Increase the caramel-to-apple ratio by coring and slicing your apples. Put each apple slice on a stick. Now dip them in caramel, chocolate, and other yummy stuff. Let the caramel apples set up and then enjoy! Hint: the kids will love dipping their own!
It’s no secret that kids love cupcakes anytime of year. Make some kid-approved Fall cupcakes in either a peanut butter or spice cake flavor. Peanut butter cupcakes are delicious with peanut butter buttercream frosting. Spice cupcakes are yummy with a cinnamon buttercream. Add some Reese’s pieces or caramel flavored M&Ms for an extra Fall flair. Here’s a delicious peanut butter cupcake recipe to try!
Do your kids love snickerdoodles as much as mine do? Then try a little Fall-flavor adjustment. Make some pumpkin snickerdoodles that the kids are sure to love. This recipe from Cooking Classy is a good one to try. The addition of pumpkin puree makes the snickerdoodles are extra soft and chewy. Yum!
Apple pie is a traditional Fall dessert, since Fall is prime time for apples! Take the kids to pick apples at an apple orchard, then use some of those delicious apples to make a kid-friendly apple “pie.” Just add some decorative pie crust to the top of your favorite baked apples before you put them in the oven. It’s a fun Fall dessert the kids will be happy to dig into!
