As much as I love pumpkin-flavored food, I tend to go a bit overboard in fall. So this one is for all the non-pumpkin lovers out there. Who’s ready for some glorious fall weather to go with it?
Caramel Apple Sheet Cake. This delicious apple cake is perfectly moist and has caramel frosting infused in each and every bite! It is heavenly!
Chicken Cornbread Casserole. Some dishes just remind you of home every time you eat them. Chicken casserole is one of those meals that is the ultimate, cozy comfort food for fall.
This Brie + Cheddar Apple Beer Soup celebrates the combo of apples and cheddar. There’s something about the tart apples with the sharp cheddar cheese–they are just so good together in this recipe from Half Baked Harvest.

Creamy Cinnamon Apple and Walnut Fruit Salad. Apples, walnuts and cinnamon just go together, and fruit salads with cream cheese (or in this case light cream cheese) are pretty much the best so you basically already know this recipe is going to be good before tasting it.
