Besides the traditional pie, there is a variety of ways to showcase the deliciousness of apples. And on this list, I have it all. From pancakes and muffins to parfaits and smoothies, there’s one for every mood in this collection. They’re mostly sweet, but I’ve also thrown in a few savory treats for you as well. You’ll also find a bunch of healthy options in there. These apple breakfast recipes will make you fall even more in love with fall. Put on your apron and preheat your oven. It’s time to get started!
1. Dutch Apple Bread
Kicking things off is this moist and flavorful Dutch apple bread. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a quick bread loaded with apple chunks. Think pound cake, but with sweet apples in every bite. Typically, Dutch apple bread is topped with a cinnamon streusel. But get this: in this recipe, you’ll get both cinnamon streusel AND a vanilla glaze on top! Because why settle for one topping when you can have two?
2. Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Start your day on a delicious but healthy note with these apple cinnamon muffins. Muffins are usually loaded with berries. But in this recipe, you’ll give the classic muffins a fun fall twist with apples and cinnamon. I don’t think there’s a flavor profile that better embodies the fall than apples and cinnamon. These muffins are insanely delicious. They’re super soft, fluffy, and moist, and the combination of apples and cinnamon is pure perfection.
3. Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
Regular pancakes are great. But apple cinnamon pancakes? These are next-level amazing. The pancakes are soft, fluffy, and spiced with cinnamon. They’re awesome in and of themselves. But what makes them out-of-this-world delectable is the warm, ooey-gooey, topping made from diced apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Together, they are the epitome of fall flavors.
4. Apple Pie Muffins
They’re muffins, but they taste just like apple pie. It’s the perfect excuse for eating dessert for breakfast. Because this recipe calls for canned apple pie filling, you can make it all year round. I love it! I also appreciate that this recipe can be used for any type of pie filling. So if you’re not in the mood for apples, you can always go for cherry or blueberry.
5. Sausage Apple Breakfast Casserole
Apple recipes are mostly sweet, but this breakfast casserole is a mix of sweet and savory. This casserole is a combination of cubed sourdough bread, sausage crumbles, cheese, and apples. They’re bound together by whipped eggs and half-and-half, creating a sweet, salty, savory, and creamy dish. It’s every amazing flavor you can think of, combined into one.
6. Apple Smoothie
Smoothies are often made with berries, but not today. This apple smoothie is smooth, creamy, and bursting with fall flavors. It’s sweetened with apples and bananas, made creamy by almond milk, peanut butter, and oatmeal, and spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. The result is a light and refreshing smoothie that’s also healthy and satisfying. It’s great for breakfast, but also a perfect pre-workout meal.

With this classic fall combination, you’ll transform basic oatmeal into a mouthwatering treat. Try it, and I guarantee it’ll be your newest favorite oatmeal flavor.
9. Overnight Cinnamon Apple Baked French Toast Casserole
I can never say no to French toast. I mean, who can, right? But what I don’t appreciate is the effort required to make it. But with this recipe, making French toast is a breeze! There’s no need to wake up early in the morning because you can prepare the casserole in advance. You won’t need to babysit the toast in front of the stove, either. Just pop the casserole in the oven and it takes care of the rest.

Say hello to Apple Brown Betty, the easy way to make apple pie. It’s a pie with an apple filling and a crumble on top.
