If I had to pick a favorite baking season, Fall would definitely be it!

I love me some apple pie, pumpkin-spice flavored treats, and personally – I could skip Thanksgiving dinner and go straight for the dessert. 

That’s why today I’m sharing 16 delicious and easy Thanksgiving dessert ideas! 

Cara’s Tip:

  1. Check Your Spices for Expiration – For the best flavor possible, make sure you double-check the dates on all of your Fall spices to ensure they aren’t expired. Ingredients such as pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon taste better fresh and are inexpensive to purchase each Fall baking season.
