To know fall and the chilly winter months is to love soup season. So bring on soup season with these 7 best soup recipes.

Here are 7 of the best soup recipes for soup season

1.) Medicine Ball Chicken Noodle Soup – classic chicken noodle gets an extra kick with immune boosting ingredients like bone broth and tumeric for when you or your loved ones are feeling under the weather or just need an extra spoonful of comfort. I call this my Medicine Ball Chicken Noodle Soup for a reason. Get the recipe here and be sure to save this one!

2.) Crock pot butternut squash soupwhen you think of fall soups it’s impossible for butternut squash not to come to mind. This one is super easy, all you need is a crock pot, some diced butternut squash and an immersion blender. I like to top mine with some crunchy pumpkin seeds. Sharing the recipe here.

The best pumpkin magic bars. Seven layer cookie bars on a board with tray of pumpkins

This post contains affiliate links

These are the best pumpkin magic bars. Similar to the classic seven layer bars, these are layered with pumpkin and a buttery, gingersnap crust which make them the perfect fall dessert.

My great aunt used to make the best magic bars. You may also know them as Seven Layer Bars, or Hello Dolly bars. At every family function, I knew that I could look forward to her special cookie bars. If you’re not familiar with Magic Bars they are a classic throwback recipe with a graham cracker crust, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, nuts,and shredded coconut.

This month, our theme for the Cozy Creative Collaborative was pumpkin since it’s October! So I decided to make a pumpkin rendition of these magic bars.

If you’re coming over from Kelly at The Tattered Pew, wasn’t her pumpkin centerpiece beautiful?

4.) Melt half a stick of butter and pour into the bowl with crushed cookies, mixing.

5.) Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper.

Crisp apples, with creamy brie, sweet caramelized onions, and hot honey are all baked to perfection on a crisp flatbread and topped with arugula that will have your mouth bursting with deliciousness.

It’s apple season! And the ladies of the Cozy Creative Collaborative and I have gotten together this month to bring you some warm and comforting apple recipes. I love apples paired with brie cheese, I think it’s a great fall combo. So I decided to make these apple and brie flatbreads with hot honey. These are a quick appetizer or my favorite way to enjoy an upscale pizza in the fall. Bake them in the oven or enjoy on the grill!

If you are coming over from Kelly at The Tattered Pew, doesn’t her simmer pot look amazing? I love doing simmer pots and I bet hers smells incredible! I can’t wait to try it!

Now here is my recipe for my apple and brie flatbread with hot honey.

Apple and brie flatbread with hot honey

We do family pizza night in our house every Friday. We love to make our own personal pizzas with Naan flatbread. I always top mine with arugula and usually a drizzle of balsamic glaze because it’s sooooo good! For fall I like to switch it up and do apple and brie on my flatbread. I still top with my arugula but I recently discovered this hot honey and it’s a game changer! I think you will love my recipe too!

Ingredients:

Directions:

1.) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2.) Start by making the onions first as this takes a bit of time. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt some butter and add the onions. Turn the heat down to low and allow to saute until they are cooked and slightly golden brown.

3.) Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper and lay out the flatbreads.

5.) Top with the sliced apples and chunks of brie.

If you love apple pie or have leftover pie crust, you are going to want to make these easy pie crust leaf cookies with apple pie dip!

When I think of fall, I think of going apple picking, helping my mom make an apple pie and then going outside to play in a big pile of leaves while the pie bakes in the oven. This recipe makes me so nostalgic for a simple and cozy fall. I was so honored when the ladies from the Handcrafted Society asked me to join them for this month’s blog hop, all about leaves. I knew exactly what I wanted to do! I think you all will love this recipe as much as I do!

If you are coming from Diane at South House Designs, thank you so much for popping over! I hope you will stay awhile! How pretty was her modge podge decor?

Now scroll on down for my easy pie crust leaf cookies with apple pie dip recipe.

Easy pie crust leaf cookies with apple pie dip

Refrigerated pie crust is cut out into leaf shapes and basted with cinnamon and sugar to make a simple yet sweet cookie. Apples, more cinnamon and sugar are cooked until tender in the crock pot to not only make your house smell amazing, but it makes a great dip for your cookies! You can use any dip you like, I also like to do a pumpkin dip (recipe coming soon!) But this apple pie dip is my favorite!

Ingredients: For the apple pie dip

  • 6 medium apples, peeled and cored. (I used pink lady but honeycrisp or granny smith work well too!)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • slab of butter

For the leaf cookies

  • Refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp water or milk
  • pinch of cinnamon and sugar

Directions:

1.) In a crockpot, add the butter, chopped apples, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir well.

2.) Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours. 3.) While the apples are cooking, start to prepare the pie crust cookies. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 4.) On a lightly floured surface or on parchment paper, roll out the dough. 5.) Using some cookie cutters or a butter knife, cut out your desired leaf shapes and place on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
