15 Spiced Fall Desserts

All-purpose spices

No, spices are not just used to flavor our savory dishes. In the fall, they are mainly there to delight our sweet tooth. In a cake, pancakes, a pie, or a cake, they warm up our creations. They blend perfectly with certain seasonal fruits such as apples, pears and grapes, giving them a sweet autumnal flavor. It’s impossible not to think of cinnamon and the famous American cinnamon rolls. This is the emblematic recipe of the season. We offer you a way to revisit it with our cinnamon roll-style sun brioche. But cinnamon is not the only spice that we can include in our sweet fall recipes. Star anise, allspice, or cardamom are also excellent when slipped into any cake batter. Cardamom with its lemony touch will be delicious in a cookie dough preparation. Are you nostalgic for summer and obviously want a seasonal fruit salad? Add some spices which will incorporate the natural juices of your fruits. You’ll also love the simple green apple sprinkled with cinnamon.

What are spices used for in a dessert?

One thing is certain: spices are popular in autumn. In addition to flavoring our recipes, they color them and give them a completely different taste. Spices can also provide a greater sense of satiety than sugar. Spices like vanilla or cinnamon reduce the amount of sugar since they can even replace it. They allow you to vary the same recipe endlessly. A pinch or a spoon and the powder does its job. They also have many benefits: antioxidants for cinnamon, digestive for star anise, anti-inflammatory for cardamom… Finally, we advise you to serve sweet and spicy preparations warm. They will be even better.
