Fun Fall Desserts (That are NOT Pumpkin Spice)

This page may contain affiliate links.

I LOVE fall, and can’t wait for those cooler temperatures. They make me think of comfort food and fall desserts! Check out these fun fall desserts that are not pumpkin spice!

fall dessserts that are not pumpkin spice such as blackberry cobbler and caramel apple bites

Fall desserts without pumpkin spice

Those warm spices in an apple or pumpkin pie are great, but I don’t always want that in my fall dessert. So we’ve collected some of the most drool-worthy fall desserts that don’t have pumpkin spice. Think caramel, maple, browned butter, and all those warm flavors that aren’t cinnamon for your next fall dessert! Or think about pecans, walnuts, and other fall foods that are in season. The possibilities are endless!

And truth be told, I think sometimes we wear out those pumpkin and apple pie spices. And sometimes even the pumpkin and apple parts. They are versatile and can offer a lot of different delights, but there are some other great foods too.

There are plenty of yummy fall flavors that make you think of comfort that don’t have anything to do with cinnamon. If pumpkin spice is your favorite, feel free to spice it up. But if it’s not or if you’re looking for something a little different, check out these fun flavors. And your friends and family that can’t have cinnamon will appreciate your straying away from the typical fall desserts too.

I love caramel apples, (check out these bite-sized ones), maple pecan, and all those other yummy supporting rolls for the fall. Yummy, I can’t wait until Thanksgiving! These flavor combinations are going to blow you away!
