Are you ready for some Fall comfort like curling up in front of the fire with a rich decadent Autumn dessert?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I've assembled a little collection of comforting treats all made WITHOUT PUMPKIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hit Pumpkin Spice overload years ago. It is everywhere starting September 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people love it and wait all year for it. If you are one of those people, enjoy. I am not knocking it. You can't walk through the grocery store in Fall without finding something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, for me there are just so many other incredible fall flavors like apple, cranberries, nuts and caramel that I enjoy indulging in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apples are the quintessential Fall fruit. Though you can get them year round, they just seem to taste better in the Autumn months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Icing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Fritter Bites<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Walnut Snack Cake<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baked Apples<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caramel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"collage<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ooey gooey caramel is so warm and comforting making it perfect for Autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate Caramel Affogato<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate Caramel Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Free Caramel Tiramisu<\/a> (alcohol free)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla Caramel Ice Blended Coffee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cranberries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"collage<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tart and tangy cranberries start to become available mid fall. Throw a bag or two in the freezer so you can enjoy these treats later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cranberry Whole Orange Bread<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange Cranberry Scones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sourdough Cranberry Cinnamon Rolls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toasted Pecan Cranberry Muffins<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"collage<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These treats are scary good for celebrating All Hallows' Eve. No tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Candy Corn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witch's Cauldron Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witch Broom Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"collage<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am partial to pecans and almonds, but you can use walnuts and hazelnuts instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almond Scones (vegan or not)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cream Cheese Pecan Coffee Cake<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maple Pecan Blondies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pecan Maple Cream Tassies <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about you? Are you a pumpkin fan, or do you look forward to one of the other flavors as the days shorten and the air cools?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
