35 Flavorful Vegan Apple Recipes for Any Season

Fresh apples are perfect for snacks, baking, and more. Discover these vegan apple recipes to enjoy their sweet, tart flavors in every dish.

Introduction

I’ve been to some apple orchards over the past few months. The first one was in Wisconsin while exploring Prairie du Chien and some of Iowa’s state parks. The other was near Galena, Illinois, and we went there on our family day trip to see my older brother and his wife.

Whether you have a local apple orchard nearby or not, plenty of fresh apples at grocery stores work for apple slices, baked goods, and whatever else you want to do with them.

Try these vegan apple recipes today, including but not limited to the following.

Baked Apples
Apple Cinnamon Rolls
Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl
Apple Fritters
Pentagram-Topped Apple Pies

5. Pentagram-Topped Apple Pies

I wanted to put some Italian witchcraft into one of my psychological thriller’s previous drafts. Even though I took that out of my story, I find witchcraft quite interesting. One symbol that Wiccans adopted was the pentagram, and if you want to add that to your Halloween baking, try these apple pentagram pies from Domestic Gothess.
