4. Pumpkin Pie: One bite takes me back to childhood memories.
5. Apple Pie: A fall staple. Nothing quite like visiting the orchard to pick your own apples for this tasty dessert. If you are anything like my family, we come home with more apples than we know what to do with. Did you know that apple pie freezes really well? Next time you make an apple pie, make an extra (or two) and freeze to enjoy later.

9. Hot or Iced Apple Cider: The hot apple cider warms my bones on cool fall evenings.
10. S’mores: Technically a food that can be consumed year-round, but there is nothing quite like a cool fall night cooking s’mores over a bonfire. 
11. Chai Tea: The spices in chai tea are perfect for autumn time. You can also take your chai tea up a notch by adding pumpkin cold foam. (You’ll thank me later!)
12. Roasted Pumpkin Seeds: These savory seeds are a great fall snack that are a rich source of protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
