Some of my favorite fall breakfasts start with apples. Check out these 10 Breakfast Recipes with Apples for inspiration!
I had been holding onto summer with a tight grip, not wanting those beautiful, more carefree days to end. But then our girls went back to school a week earlier than usual. And we hosted an autumn-themed gathering of friends in our back yard over Labor Day weekend, complete with smoky grilled pork chops, delicious fall salads, and tender apple peanut butter cookies. We poured glasses of harvest apple sangria and popped the tops off of locally brewed bottles of Oktoberfest that swam lazily in a galvanized tub of melting ice, succumbing to the sweltering heat.
That evening of food and friendship, heavy on laughter, was immediately followed up by a week of cooler weather. Leaves started disengaging from their branches. There was talk of picking apples and attending fall festivals. My morning and evening walks now nudged me to cover my arms with a light sweatshirt. And BAM. I find myself yielding to the new season, looking forward to jeans and tall boots, comfy sweaters and flannel shirts…simply finding the joy in the here and now.
One of the very best things about fall is fresh, local apples, and I know that my heart is bound by a bit of nostalgia as I seek out my favorite Haralson variety each year. These are the apples I grew up with on the farm in South Dakota, what my taste buds have been trained to crave when the weather turns cooler. Firm and tart, they are the perfect baking apple, holding their shape quite nicely after being placed in the oven. Because, really, who likes a mushy apple crisp?
Here are 10 Breakfast Recipes with Apples, a list of yumminess to start your fall mornings out right. C’mon. Enjoy this beautiful season with me!

I love the idea of a fall/harvest get-together! And I really need to make that apple sangria. What a fantastic round-up of fall-inspired recipes!
Oh, my. SO many delicious ways to start the day. I’d start with those oatmeal pancakes and work my way through all the marvelous apple recipes :)
So happy that peak apple season is almost here! Minnesota orchards are the best!
APPLES!! Yay! I am so excited for fall and apples season, so this post is so what I need. THANKS!

I have been hanging onto summer, but we went for a drive in the canyon yesterday and the leaves were changing and it totally put me in the fall mood! I love apples and I love breakfast – this list was made for me!
I’m so loving this! Bring on all the apples.
Great round up to kick start apple season!
I’m practically skipping right now because my apple tree did awesome this year and is producing like mad. And I need apple recipes of course to use up all those tasty apples. Breakfast is even better! I’m finding that apples make me feel fuller so I do less snacking during the day. This saves me in Spanx products if you know what I mean =) Thanks.
