Apple or Pumpkin Flavor: Which Fall Desserts are Your Favorite?

Fall is my favorite season, with the leaves changing colors, the sweaters getting pulled off the racks, and, of course, the delicious food. From apple to cinnamon to pumpkin to maple, the fall flavors are some of the best all year round, and so are the desserts. With more and more people going apple picking, a lot more students on campus have gotten into the fall spirit and are baking warm goods to share with their friends. As Thanksgiving approaches as well, the pumpkin craze is on the rise, with flavored coffees at Starbucks and Dunkin, and many fast food places, restaurants, and grocery stores have the flavors prominent on their menu and tables.
