Before I moved to Canada sweet pumpkin recipes weren’t even on my radar. We’re all about the savoury pumpkin recipes on my island and I was a-okay with that. But now that I’ve been immersed in North American with pumpkin sweets for the past 5 years, they’re basically all I think about once summer starts to fade.
From all the excitement around pumpkin at this time of year, you would swear that it was the only thing in season right now. But, there’s actually a long list of fruits and veggies that are at their best during the fall, including apples, pears, ginger, broccoli, brussels sprouts and, of course, most of the other types of squash. So, today, I wanted to share some recipes for desserts and snacks that are perfect for fall, but don’t contain pumpkin. Because, contrary to popular belief, they do exist.

Love this! I am not a big pumpkin fan (well, I like pumpkin pie, but that’s enough for me), so I don’t always understand the pumpkin frenzy at this time of year. I love this variety of other treats!
I love this!!! While pumpkin is tasty (IMHO), I think other fall ingredients get overlooked too often. I’m a apple fanatic. 🙂

I actually had no idea that pumpkin was a huge thing until I started reading blogs — it’s definitely not something I grew up with! And I honestly think that I prefer apple and pear things to pumpkin. Unless chocolate is involved 😛

Awesome round-up! I do love pumpkin, but I agree other fall produce doesn’t necessarily get enough love sometimes. I LOVE desserts with apple…like apple crisp and apple pie. Yum!

There is definitely an over-saturation of pumpkin recipe before fall. It’s actually the easiest way to tell when the seasons change, as Pinterest becomes all about pumpkin!
All these look delicious btw, amazing job putting it all together =)
