Fall is finally here and the air is crisp. The leaves are changing colors, and pumpkin spice is being sold in the stores. Everywhere you look in the stores you can find decorations for Fall and Halloween. This time of year, is great for baking too. There are so many great recipes out there to try.
One thing that I like to bake for this time of year is pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie is definitely a favorite of my husband. It’s a simple thing to make as well and the directions for baking one is often found on a can of pumpkin. Ready-made pie crusts can be found in the frozen section of the grocery store. You can also make your own pie crust.
Another thing that I like to make is pumpkin bars and recipes for this can also be found online or in cookbooks. Pumpkin of course is one of the main ingredients in the recipe. These are a simple and quick baked treat to make for Fall. The kids will love these as well because they can just grab a one as they go by the kitchen.
Pumpkin cookies can be made and also a favorite of the kids. Recipes for these are pretty simple as well and can be found online or in a cookbook. Let the kids join in by having them add different ingredients to the recipe. They will have a fun time learning to cook and getting to eat the cookies afterward.
Sugar cookies can be made as a Fall treat with pumpkin colored icing on top. If you are creative, enough you can make pumpkin faces on the cookies with icing. Again, there are so many recipes that can be found online for decorating simple sugar cookies for a Fall theme. I’m sure cookie cutters in the shape of leaves can be found and pumpkin shaped cookie cutters.
Get creative and don’t limit yourself to what you can try to make for Fall desserts. You can always get the input of your children and your spouse if you run out of ideas.
