When the air turns crisp in Fall, fruit takes on a whole new charm. Apples become fragrant in the oven, pears soften into buttery sweetness, and tart cranberries brighten the table. Depending on where you live, apples, pears, and cranberries are among the fruits commonly available in the Fall season. Here are some fruit recipe ideas.

Cinnamon-Maple Baked Apples

Think of these as individual apple crisps—with the apple itself serving as the little edible bowl.

Pear and Cranberry Skillet Crisp

Sweet pears and tart cranberries make a lively match beneath a golden oat topping. It’s easy enough for a weeknight and lovely enough to bring to a holiday gathering.

Roasted Grape and Goat Cheese Toasts

Fall fruit doesn’t have to be dessert. Roasting grapes concentrates their sweetness and turns a simple slice of toast into an elegant snack or appetizer.
