Fall Tablescape With Desserts

Dream Picks: Festive Fall Desserts

It’s officially fall, and that means it’s time to enjoy all things apple, pumpkin and cinnamon-spiced. We usually associate these warm and comforting flavors with Halloween or Thanksgiving, but they belong at any autumn soirée! We’ve rounded up our favorite seasonal desserts that will make any fall event feel more festive. 

Caramel Apples 

Nothing says fall quite like freshly picked apples covered in homemade caramel. This dessert is a hit at family-friendly gatherings and events. Looking for a little variation? We’ll set up a topping station where your guests can dip their apples in nuts, candy pieces, or even bacon for a dash of smoky, savory flavor. Your guests will want to them all!

Brie with Pita Chips and Apple Cinnamon Jam 

In our opinion, this is the perfect treat for fans of sweet and savory flavor combinations— warm slices of soft brie, topped with apple cinnamon jam and served with crunchy, cinnamon-sugar dusted pita chips. Rich and buttery with a mix of textures, this decadent dessert is sure to impress everyone on your guest list.

Apple and Pumpkin Mini Pies

There’s something about a pie that feels so quintessentially fall. Mini desserts are always a hit at events, and with our apple and pumpkin mini pies, your guests won’t feel guilty about going back for seconds. For a little extra fall flair, we use an autumn leaf-shaped cookie cutter to create a photo-worthy pie crust topping. And don’t forget to add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream!

S’mores Popcorn Balls 

You don’t need a fire pit or a big bonfire at your event to enjoy s’mores. Our no-bake s’mores popcorn balls put a fall twist on the traditional holiday treat with added graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips and marshmallows. These bite-sized treats are perfect for any Halloween- or Thanksgiving-themed events.
