October Favorites

Here are my favorite recipes posted to The Messy Apron in the month of October

Apple Cranberry Crisp

One of my all-time favorite Messy Apron recipes!!

Apple Turnovers with Dried Fruit
These yummy little turnovers feature the season’s best fresh apples as well as Easy Cream Cheese Pastry, probably my favorite pie crust.

Applesauce with Pumpkin and Spices

Just add some pumpkin puree to your favorite applesauce recipe, and you’ve got something special.

Beef Empanada Pot Pie
Rich, meaty, filling and savory. Just what you need for supper as the nights get cold.

Broccoli with Sweet and Spicy Almond Sauce
The sauce is the star of this recipe and it could go on other blanched or steamed vegetables, such as green beans or cauliflower.

Caramel Corn

A fabulous sweet treat that you don’t have to give away to trick-or-treaters.

Chard Soup with Cilantro and Lime

A delightfully tangy soup. If everything green tasted like this, all kids would grow up loving their veggies!

Chorizo and Chipotle Chili

One of my favorites for the fall tailgating season.

Maple Date Oatmeal Bars
A simple oatmeal crumble bar with the sweetness of dates and maple syrup


Peanut Butter Butterfinger Blondies
Halloween candy in a peanut butter bar cookie!

Pizza Any Way You Like It

I make some version of this homemade pizza just about every week!

Pumpkin Pie Spice

My go-to spice blend for fall baking

Quinoa Stuffed Squash

Little, sweet winter squash are stuffed with a sort of quinoa pilaf flavored with leeks and cranberries.       

Roasted Squash Soup with Black Beans and Salsa

One of the many permutations of winter squash soup you’ll find in this internet of ours. I particularly like these southwestern flavors and the spiciness of this soup.

Roasted Vegetables

These simple roasted fall vegetables are a staple in my oven and on my dinner table during the cool months.

Spinach and Feta Scones with Dill

Thanks to a good dose of feta cheese and fresh dill, these are a fabulously flavorful savory scones.

Winter Squash and Leek Empanadas with Sage

These delicious fold-over pies are wonderful fall fare. Make extras to freeze for easier weeknight meals.
