This lazy chicken and dumplings remind me of my stovetop chicken noodle soup and stovetop lasagna soup! They taste like they took hours to make and are definitely 100% reliable on days (and nights) when you don’t know what to serve.

Why You’ll Love This Stovetop Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

• This stovetop chicken and dumplings is rich, filled with satisfying textures, and ultra-comforting!
• This homemade chicken dumpling dish feels like a proper feast and skips the Crockpot and the Bisquick shortcut. Anyone can make it, no matter what they have in their kitchen.
• This chicken and dumplings soup recipe is made in one pot, giving the dish tons of flavor without leaving you a sink full of dishes to wash afterward!

Ingredients

Chicken and soup:

Chicken breast – Helps build the flavorful browned bits on the bottom. You don’t need to cook it through in the first step, since it will finish cooking in the soup later.

Salt and pepper – Basic seasonings for the chicken.

Olive oil – For searing the chicken breasts.

Butter – For the roux and aromatics.

Onion, carrots, and celery – They make up the aromatic base, or mirepoix, for stovetop chicken and dumplings.

Garlic – Brings a rich and complex flavor to the soup.

Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce – Unlike other chicken-and-dumplings on the stove, this version tastes noticeably more complex, thanks to these extra ingredients.

Flour – For the roux that thickens the soup.

Chicken broth and half and half – They form the rich and creamy base of the comforting dish.

Frozen peas – This easy chicken and dumplings on stove is a great way to sneak more veggies into your routine! You don’t even need to thaw them if using frozen vegetables.

Onion powder, ground mustard, dried basil leaves, rosemary, dried thyme, ground sage, pepper, and parsley – The herbs and spices are totally up to you. You can combine whole, powdered, fresh, or dried!

Dumplings:

All-purpose flour – Use the spoon-and-level method when measuring your flour! If you just scoop it straight from the bag, you risk getting excess flour, which can lead to dumplings that sink!

Baking powder and baking soda – For light and pillowy dumplings.

Salt, sugar, and garlic powder – Simple seasonings for the dumplings.

Butter – For binding the dumpling ingredients together. It also helps keep the dumplings tender.

Milk – Hydrates the flour and forms a rich dough.

Sour cream – The key ingredient that keeps the dumplings from turning chewy or dense.

Ingredient Substitutions For Chicken and Dumplings Stovetop Recipe

Rotisserie chicken

This stovetop chicken and dumplings recipe is a tasty way to use up holiday leftovers!

You can even grab a fully cooked rotisserie chicken at the store and shred it up to skip the first step of the recipe.

Chicken stock

Besides chicken broth and half-and-half, you can also make this creamy chicken and dumplings with chicken stock and cream of chicken soup.

Bisquick

Hate the thought of preparing multiple dry ingredients? Make the dumplings with 2 1/2 cups of Bisquick and 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk instead!

Drop the Bisquick dumplings into the boiling broth, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, and enjoy perfectly cooked dumplings fuss-free.

Tips For Making This Recipe

Add More Veggies

For a more substantial stovetop chicken and dumplings, add more veggies like corn, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms!

Storage Tips

Store the dumplings and soup in separate airtight containers in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. You’re free to store the dish as a whole, but the dumplings will absorb the broth and soften over time. To reheat, place the pan of chicken and dumplings over medium-low heat on the stove, adding a splash of chicken broth as needed to revive the dish’s hearty consistency.

Serving Suggestions

While this chicken and dumplings stovetop dish is already a complete meal on its own, a slice of crusty bread and mashed potatoes both make satisfying sides to round it out!

Equipment

• Pot
• Wooden spoon
• Knife

Ingredients

For the chicken and soup:

• 2 lbs chicken breast
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 5 tbsp butter
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 2 celery sticks, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 1/3 cup flour
• 4 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups half and half
• 3/4 cup frozen peas
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
• 1/2 tsp rosemary
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp ground sage
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp parsley, chopped

For the dumplings:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/4 cup milk, cold
• 3/4 cup sour cream, cold

Instructions

Chicken:

• Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
• Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook them until a golden-brown crust forms on the surface, about 3 minutes per side. At this stage, you don't need to cook the chicken completely.
  
• Transfer to a plate and let the breasts rest before dicing.

Soup:

• Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same pot. Use a wooden spoon to scrape off the flavorful fond at the bottom.
• Add the onions, carrots, and chopped celery and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  
• Combine the seasonings, then add them to the pot together with the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
  
• After a minute, add the flour and stir to coat all the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  
• Slowly add the broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot as you stir.
• Add the half and half in small splashes. Next, add the peas to the soup and bring everything to a gentle boil.
  
• Simmer the soup uncovered.

Dumplings:

• Combine the dry ingredients for the dumplings.
  
• Add the butter, milk, and sour cream. Fold the dough to form, but do not overmix.
  

Finishing the stew:

• Add the diced chicken back to the simmering soup. Give it a quick stir, then reduce the heat to low.
• Portion the dumpling dough with a cookie scoop. Place the dumplings on top of the soup, spooning a small amount of soup over each piece.
  
• Cover the pot and increase the heat. Let the dish come to a gentle simmer.
• After 15 minutes, open the lid and insert a toothpick into a dumpling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumplings are done. If the dough is still wet, cover and cook for another 3 minutes.
  
• Ladle your chicken and dumplings into a bowl and top with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
  

Notes

• For a more substantial stovetop chicken and dumplings, add more veggies like corn, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms!
• Store the dumplings and soup in separate airtight containers in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. You’re free to store the dish as a whole, but the dumplings will absorb the broth and soften over time. To reheat, place the pan of chicken and dumplings over medium-low heat on the stove, adding a splash of chicken broth as needed to revive the dish’s hearty consistency.

This fall snack board easily doubles as a centerpiece with its festive arrangement. It’s packed with fall favorites and can be assembled at the last minute.

Everyone can graze on their favorite fall-themed appetizers, and you can literally reinvent the entire thing into an autumn charcuterie board that’s uniquely yours!

No matter the occasion, you can never save too many charcuterie board ideas for fall! My personal faves are fall dessert charcuterie boards like my smore charcuterie board and caramel apple charcuterie board.

Ingredients

Pumpkins – Aren’t pumpkins mandatory for all fall-themed charcuterie board ideas? I can’t imagine a more iconic focal point for a fall harvest snack board!

French loaf – Store-bought or homemade, it’s totally up to you! If you want to really impress at autumn gatherings, swap out your loaf with a pumpkin-shaped bread!

Grilled olives, pickled cucumbers, and green pickled olives – No charcuterie board is complete without briny bites! Just make sure to drain them well, so they don’t add moisture to the fall snack board.

Cherry tomatoes – Add a nice pop of red, and they would easily round out any cheese board. You can also add fresh fall produce to this fall grazing board!

Grapes, apple, strawberries, plums, blueberries, dried apricots, and dried figs – We’re using fresh and dried fruits for a super abundant fall party board.

Mixed nuts – They’re great for munching and make excellent fillers for all autumn board ideas.

Cheddar cheese – Feel free to add an assortment of cheese to your fall snack platter!

Ham – Can’t serve a charcuterie board without deli meat. Get creative in arranging them!

Bran cookies, breadsticks, and oatmeal cookies – Assorted treats to round out fall food boards for parties. Feel free to sneak in homemade desserts like my crowd-favorite fizzy dark chocolate pumpkin truffles and sweet potato bites!

Ingredient Additions For Fall Charcuterie Board

Pumpkin cheese ball

The best thing about trying out fall snack board ideas like this is that the sky is the limit for how you can elevate it.

For example, you can make a quick pumpkin-shaped cheese ball using 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 ounce of ranch dressing mix, and 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.

Mix them together, divide the mixture into 3 balls, refrigerate to help them firm up, and then roll them into more shredded cheddar cheese. Then, just shape them up to look like a pumpkin, draw on the ridges with a toothpick, and insert pretzels on each one to create the pumpkin stem!

Fall-inspired ingredients

Highlight autumn’s best flavors in this fall snack board! You can add pear slices, roasted pumpkin seeds, gingersnap cookies, fig jam, cranberry sauce, and candied pecans, just to name a few.

Add whatever you like to enjoy all those cozy seasonal flavors we look forward to every fall!

Tips For Making This Recipe

Arrangement Tips

Use large ingredients like pumpkins as your fall themed food board’s focal points. Then, fill the rest of the platter with smaller food items, playing with their arrangement to showcase contrasts in color, texture, and fall flavors.

Storage Tips

For leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. But if they’ve been sitting at room temperature at your gathering, it might be better not to save them for food safety reasons. This fall charcuterie board is best enjoyed within 2 hours of serving!

Serving Ideas

Pair this fall themed charcuterie board with other cozy snacks and appetizers! Set plates filled with candy apple slices, apple cinnamon brownies, pumpkin donuts, and bowls of fall-inspired dips like pumpkin pie hummus and salted caramel dip beside this snack board.

These air fryer hand pies are like a cross between sloppy joes and pockets!

Think saucy, savory ground beef and melted cheddar sealed inside a flaky pie crust.

And because these cook in the air fryer rather than a deep fryer, they come out beautifully golden, with none of the excess grease!

It’s like a non-sloppy joe pie recipe, both during cooking and eating.

These air fryer pies are great for fueling up on the go! They remind me of my favorite breakfast hand pies: Ghanaian meat pies.

And for mid-afternoon snacking, I recommend these peach mango pies. What better way to beat the summer slump than with something sweet and peachy, right?

Why You’ll Love This Air Fryer Sloppy Joes Recipe

• Because these air fryer sloppy joes aren’t actually sloppy, they’re great for serving at gatherings and for bringing to picnics!
• These sloppy joe hand pies with premade pie crust and canned sauce are both economical and easy enough to make on a weekday!
• These air fryer hand pies are customizable! Switch up the filling, try another crust, or get creative with your tweaks based on what’s already in your fridge and pantry.

Ingredients

Store-bought pie crusts – No need to stress about getting your dry ingredient measurements right! Just grab a box of your favorite refrigerated pie crust for this sloppy joe pie recipe.

Ground beef – I recommend 80 percent lean for a flavorful filling that doesn’t dry out easily.

Sloppy Joe sauce – Not only can you make these air fryer pies with pie crust from the store, but you can also shortcut your way to a delicious beef filling with a can of Manwich Original Sloppy Joe sauce!

Cheddar cheese – Melty cheddar cheese just completes the meaty, savory sauce mixture.

Salt and pepper – The Manwich sauce is already tasty on its own, so we’re just seasoning the beef with classic salt and pepper.

But if you want to give your tomato-based sauce more depth, I think brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce make excellent additions.

Cooking spray – Of course, you can’t make hand pies in air fryer without lightly greasing them before cooking. This will help you get crisp, golden-fried pies in the air fryer!

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Air Fryer Hand Pies

Ground turkey

For a lighter take on your air fryer sloppy joes, swap ground turkey for beef! You can also use ground chicken or vegan substitutes, such as crumbled tofu.

Biscuits

Curious how to make fried pies in air fryer with something other than store-bought crust? You can also flatten store-bought biscuit dough and use it to make biscuit pockets for these air fryer hand pies.

Cheese

Besides cheddar cheese, I like having pockets of Provolone cheese throughout the filling. Pepper jack cheese and mozzarella cheese are also delicious in these “unsloppy joes” if you want a little something extra.

Tips For Making This Recipe

Cool the Filling Before Assembly

It’s super important that your meat filling is at room temperature before assembling the air fryer sloppy joes! If it’s still hot, the crust can either break or end up soggy.

Add Extras

Veggies are excellent additions for hearty air fryer hand pies! You can stir diced bell peppers, shredded carrots, and diced onions into the meat mixture. Sliced jalapenos are also yummy if you like a little kick.

Make the Sauce From Scratch

If you don’t have a Manwich sauce or just want more control over your filling’s content and flavor, just make a similar sauce from scratch! Just add 1 8-oz can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of ketchup, and extra seasonings like salt, mustard, chili powder, celery seed, and minced onion to the cooked and drained beef in the pan, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer.

Ingredients

Cream cheese filling:

Cream cheese – Use full-fat, dairy cream cheese that’s softened to room temperature for the best texture!

Granulated sugar – To sweeten our cheesecake filling.

Vanilla extract – Just a bit to add depth to the rich and tangy cheesecake-style center.

Pumpkin bites:

Canned pumpkin puree – We’re keeping this pumpkin bites recipe super quick and easy. But of course, you’re free to use fresh pumpkin puree for an extra labor of love.

Egg – To help bind everything together.

Vegetable oil – For moisture.

Milk – Lends richness and helps keep pumpkin muffin bites moist.

Non-stick cooking spray – Just a bit to make the removal from the egg mold and clean-up easier.

Powdered sugar for garnish – Optional finishing touch before serving the pumpkin cream cheese bites. You can also dust the tops of the pumpkin bites with a quick cinnamon sugar mixture for added texture!

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Pumpkin Bites

Rolo candies

Make pumpkin bites in Instant Pot with a different filling!

Chocolate chips

What’s better than pumpkin cheesecake bites? Chocolate pumpkin cheesecake bites!

Just fold chocolate chips into the batter.

Whipped cream

A delicious way to serve these canned pumpkin bites is with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Might sound like it’s too much, but trust me, you’re gonna love the texture!

Tips For Making This Recipe

Do Not Overmix

Do not overmix your batter, or it can make Instant Pot pumpkin bites dense.

Cover the Molds

If your egg bites mold don’t have a lid, you can just cover it with foil. This is important as you don’t want any moisture to drip into the pressure cooker pumpkin bites and make them soggy!

Storage Tips

You can make this pumpkin bites recipe in advance! The cooled pumpkin cheesecake bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

As the Dutch oven cobbler bakes, the sugar draws out the apple juices, creating a natural syrup. No extra sauce or liquid like lemon juice needed!

For the cobbler topping:

All-purpose flour – Make sure to measure it correctly, as excess flour will create a dense biscuit topping.

Baking powder – For that deliciously fluffy texture on your cobbler topping. Check for freshness beforehand!

Granulated sugar – Just enough to sweeten the apple cobbler in Dutch oven.

Salt – To enhance the sweet flavor of our apple campfire dessert.

Ground cinnamon – We’re also adding cinnamon to the topping. Feel free to add extra spices for depth!

And if you want more texture, you can sprinkle the topping with cinnamon brown sugar before baking the cobbler.

Unsalted butter – Remember that your butter should be cold, so it doesn’t get absorbed into the flour mixture! A shaggy dough makes the perfect cobbler topping!

Milk – For richness and to help bring the dough together.

Vanilla ice cream – I mean, I just think it’s a crime to serve this Dutch apple cobbler without ice cream on top!

Or, for something lighter, I got an amazing vanilla bean ice cream and vegan whipped cream you can make from scratch!

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Camper’s Outdoor Apple Cobbler

Raspberries

Make this campfire cobbler recipe with different fruits! Replace half the apples with raspberries for a sweet-tart contrast and pop of red. Peach cobbler who?

Cake mix

Curious about how to make cobbler in a Dutch oven with cake mix? This is one of the easiest shortcut camping cobbler recipes out there!

Just sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly over the spiced apples, top with thin slices of butter, and pour 12 ounces of lemon-lime soda over everything.

Extras

Give your apple filling extra oomph! I love my Dutch oven apple cobbler with cloves and nutmeg.

Tips For Making This Recipe

Don’t Overthink the Assembly

No need to be a perfectionist when assembling your Dutch oven apple cobbler! Just drop the dough pieces on top of the apples, making sure they’re evenly distributed.

Count Your Coals

For a 12-inch Dutch oven, aim for 10 to 12 coals underneath and 14 to 16 on its lid. You’ll need more or fewer coals, depending on the size of your Dutch oven, to ensure even cooking.

Prep Ahead

If you’re taking this apple Dutch oven dessert camping, freeze your butter so it stays cold once you arrive at the campsite. You can also mix the dry ingredients and place the mixture in a resealable bag to make your prep work easier outdoors.

If you think you know your hot chocolate recipes, this chocolate chaud may have you questioning why you ever thought a long list of ingredients was necessary to make a truly great cup of drinking chocolate.

This classic French hot chocolate recipe creates a rich, velvety dark chocolate drink by melting high-quality chocolate directly into hot milk. The only downside? Once you’ve tried it, it’ll be hard to go back to cocoa powder.

It’s incredibly decadent! I’d argue this French drinking chocolate is basically dessert in a cup.

This European-style drinking chocolate would make an excellent companion to a hot chocolate charcuterie board (yes, charcuterie boards are not just for meats and cheeses)

But if you want something you can easily store, I can vouch for my homemade hot chocolate mix!

Why You’ll Love This French Hot Chocolate Recipe

• This is the best French hot chocolate recipe for enjoying gourmet hot chocolate at home. It’s incredibly easy to make and can be adapted to suit your budget.
• This French sipping chocolate comes out naturally thick without needing cornstarch or heavy cream. The result is a richer-tasting hot chocolate that’s amazingly silky and creamy.
• Because you’re making this fancy hot chocolate at home, you can give it your own twist or adjust the recipe based on what you have on hand.

Ingredients

Whole milk – Learn how to make Parisian hot chocolate as close as possible to the way it’s served in Parisian cafes. That means skipping the heavy cream and using full-fat milk instead!

Dark chocolate – The most important ingredient when making French drinking chocolate. Use 70% dark chocolate to really get those rich cacao notes!

Brown sugar – Just a small amount to complement the bitter dark chocolate. You’re not aiming to make the hot chocolate as sweet as milk chocolate.

Vanilla extract – I used vanilla extract because it’s already in my pantry. Still, for a closer flavor to traditional French hot chocolate, you can skip the sugar and rely on the sweet, floral flavor of vanilla seeds, scraped from the pod.

Whipped cream and chocolate shavings – These are optional for presentation. They just make the cup feel more like “something you deserve” after a long day!

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For French Drinking Chocolate

Oat milk

If you want a lighter alternative to dairy milk, you can use oat milk to replicate its richness and creaminess.

Flaky Sea Salt

Salt is my favorite addition to any drinking chocolate recipe! It just makes the chocolate flavor pop.

Spices

Besides vanilla, you can definitely experiment with different additions to this French sipping chocolate.

Of course, you’ll be straying from a true classic French hot chocolate, but life is too short to be overly strict with your homemade recipes! A pinch of nutmeg, or even cayenne pepper, would go so well with the rich, dark chocolate.

Tips For Making This Recipe

Use High-Quality Chocolate

For the best French hot chocolate, use high-quality dark or bittersweet chocolate bars. Avoid chocolate chips, and choose chocolate with a high cocoa content—ideally around 65% cocoa solids.

Don’t Let the Milk Boil or Burn

Don’t be tempted to turn up the heat to speed things up. Let your hot chocolate simmer gently so it can thicken properly.

Don’t Fear the Skin

If your chocolate chaud forms a skin, just whisk it back into the mixture. You can also just scoop it out if it’s too thick to whisk back in.

Ingredients

Whole milk –The base of this Starbucks vanilla bean frappuccino no ice cream recipe. Full-fat dairy or plant-based, it doesn’t really matter. However, I do recommend going with something that’s fatty and creamy.

Ice cubes – Of course, you can’t learn how to make vanilla bean frappe at home without ice to achieve the drink’s signature thick consistency.

Xanthan gum – Our secret ingredient to make this Starbucks vanilla bean frappuccino recipe without ice cream work. It gives the base body without watering down the vanilla flavor.

Vanilla bean – For the best vanilla flavor. It’s definitely way better than pumping a vanilla frappe full of artificial flavors!

Heavy whipping cream – Just because you’re making vanilla bean frappuccino at home doesn’t mean it shouldn’t look like it’s from a coffee shop.

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

Dairy-Free Alternatives

If you want to make this Starbucks frappuccino vanilla bean recipe vegan, oat milk makes a great base. Oatly’s Barista Edition is actually what’s used in some Starbucks drinks!

Frozen Banana

A trick to thicken this vanilla bean frappe as naturally as possible is to blend it with a frozen banana! Not only does it sort of taste like ice cream, but it’s also way more wholesome than using artificial thickeners.

Sugar-free Sweeteners

For a sugar-free vanilla frappuccino, use monk fruit sweetener or make a vegan stevia simple syrup from scratch.

Tips For Making This Recipe

Tweak it However You Want

Got ice cream? Go ahead and make your Starbucks vanilla bean frappuccino with it to make it extra indulgent! If you still want to keep it less guilt-inducing, this vegan vanilla ice cream fits the bill.

Hoping that the Starbucks apple crisp frappuccino will come back on this year’s menu?

Recreate it at home in under 15 minutes!

My favorite part of this copycat recipe is the cinnamon-apple brown sugar syrup because it’s made with an actual apple. It’s super easy, so no need to overthink it.

And because this frappuccino is made with oat milk, you just need to make sure your toppings are also dairy-free to make it vegan-friendly.

This homemade fall frappuccino is not the only Starbucks copycat that I’m obsessed with. Be sure to check out my Starbucks caramel brulee latte and vanilla bean frappuccino as well—I promise you won’t miss the drive-through anytime soon!

Why You’ll Love This Apple Crisp Frappuccino Recipe

• This apple crisp frappuccino recipe is ready in 13 minutes with a few simple ingredients! Enjoy the seasonal drink you’ve been missing at a fraction of the cost.
• This apple crisp Starbucks drink tastes just like the real thing! It’s like an apple dessert you can sip.
• This caramel apple frappuccino works year-round because you can customize it and just use whatever you have on hand. Consider this a base recipe you can personalize!

Ingredients

Apple – Part of the reason why you’ll love learning how to make apple crisp frappuccino at home is you’ll also get to make the apple syrup from scratch. Sure, store-bought syrup works in a pinch, but nothing beats the flavor of a fresh apple.

Brown sugar – For a syrup with a rich, caramel-like flavor.

Ground cinnamon – For that classic apple crisp flavor.

Strong brewed coffee – You can use whatever coffee brewing method you love for this apple crisp frappuccino Starbucks copycat.

Ice – Can’t make an apple crisp oatmilk frappuccino without ice!

Oat milk – Any creamy milk, dairy or not, works. However, I like Oatly Barista Edition to make this apple crisp frappuccino recipe as close as possible to the real thing.

Heavy cream and caramel sauce – Extra toppings for a straight-out-of-a-coffee shop apple frappuccino. If you want to make this drink dairy-free, use vegan substitutes.

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Apple Crisp Oatmilk Frappuccino

Apple cider

No fresh apple available? No problem!

Make the syrup for this Starbucks oat milk frappuccino with apple cider instead.

Mix 1 cup of brown sugar with 2 cups of apple cider and your choice of spices over medium heat, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Then, let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, or until the syrup is reduced.

Warm spices

This apple crisp oatmilk frappuccino is perfect for experimenting with different flavors! Besides cinnamon, I love adding a pinch of ground cardamom and nutmeg to the brown sugar apple syrup when I really want to get into the spirit of the fall season.

Plant-based milk

Can’t have oats? Try the blend with any plant-based milk! I personally like coconut milk and soy milk.

Tips For Making This Recipe

Use the Best Coffee

For the most balanced flavor, use brewed blonde espresso or any strong dark roast coffee. You want something bold to complement the spiced caramel apple flavors.

Make Flavored Ice Cubes

Want a stronger apple flavor on your apple crisp oatmilk frappuccino? Substitute regular ice cubes with frozen apple cider cubes!

Try a Hot Version

If hot coffee is more your style, add the apple-flavored syrup to a mug, top it with warm, frothed oat milk, then pour in the espresso.

I want you to think about how you like your candy apple — the coating and even the extras.

If your mouth is watering with all the candies and luscious coatings you’ve imagined, that’s exactly what inspired me to try and make a caramel apple board.

I don’t want to just choose one topping and a dip, and I’m also not thrilled about the extra work of dipping a whole apple on a stick.

I want a low-effort caramel apple bar that I can whip up in minutes!

If you’re biased about caramel apple desserts, you have to try my caramel apple nachos next, which, now that I think about it, can also be added to this fall dessert board.

And if you also want to serve whole candy apples on your dessert boards for parties, my 5-ingredient recipe is totally beginner-friendly!

Why You’ll Love This Caramel Apple Charcuterie Board

• This caramel apple dipping board makes a fantastic dessert option for parties and holidays for fall and beyond! It can easily satisfy a crowd, and with its variety of snacks, it can accommodate kids and adults alike.
• Filled with caramel apple toppings and everything you love about caramel apples, this themed snack board makes it easy for everyone to set up an apple-dipping station at their gathering! You can customize the board based on your budget, the number of guests, what they want, and the ingredients you have on hand.
• This caramel apple charcuterie board can also become your centerpiece to make the dessert table look and feel extra festive and welcoming. No one will guess it only took 10 minutes to prepare!

Ingredients

Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples – Use a combination of sweet and tart apple varieties! I also like having the visual contrast of green and red apples on my candy apple board.

Caramel sauce and chocolate syrup – I’ve kept this dessert charcuterie board with apples nice and simple, but feel free to add as many dips as you want.

White chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips – You can also chop up your favorite chocolate bars. I just think it’s easier to roll up the dipped apples in mini chocolate chips.

Candy sprinkles and peanuts – Fill your apple caramel board with any toppings you like! You can add them in little bowls or use chopped peanuts and nonpareils to fill the gaps on the board.

Chocolate candies and gummy candies – For extra color and texture. There’s no such thing as too much treats when it comes to party platters.

Oreos – I think crushed Oreos are such a fun addition to candy apples. You can also come up with unique topping-dip combos for your apple themed charcuterie board!

How about Reese’s Pieces and salted caramel? Mmm

Lemon juice – Helps keep the apple slices from browning too quickly. I also had a great experience with salt water! Just use a ratio of 1 cup water to 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and soak the apple slices in the salt solution for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Caramel Apple Board

Snacks

Besides what we already have on our caramel apple charcuterie board, you can add more snacks to turn it into an actual party on a platter.

Off the top of my head, you can go with grapes (or any seasonal fruit you like), biscuits, pretzels, and graham crackers.

Dipping sauces

I’m already happy with my chocolate sauce and caramel dip, but I bet no one will complain if their caramel apple dip board also has bowls of marshmallow dip and creamy peanut butter.

Fillers and candy apple toppings

For the best experience with your caramel apple bites, don’t be afraid to add a variety of toppings. I have made this apple slice charcuterie board with mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, granola, and toffee bits, and it was a hit!

Tips For Making This Recipe

Serving Suggestions

Serve your caramel apple charcuterie board with wooden skewers to give your guests a less messy experience. And if you are planning for a crowd, a good rule of thumb is one apple per person.

Pat the Apples Dry

Make sure to pat your apple slices dry before assembly! You don’t want to add moisture to the wood board, as it will make it look untidy.

Save time and enjoy peach cobbler the crunchiest way possible with my peach cobbler egg rolls!

Just imagine warm, buttery peaches tucked inside a golden shell coated in cinnamon sugar.

Not only is this dessert recipe a fun, mess-free way to enjoy the summer favorite, but it’s also easy to make thanks to canned peaches—no peeling or overthinking whether your fruit is ready.

Fair warning: one is never enough. Make a big batch while you’re at it!

These dessert peach cobbler egg rolls can also be enjoyed with an extra kick! Try them with my peach jalapeno jam on the side.

And if handheld peach desserts are your thing, you have to make my peach mango pie next!

Why You’ll Love This Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls Recipe

• You can make this peach cobbler egg roll recipe year-round because it uses canned peaches. It’s also adaptable enough to work in the air fryer or oven if you hate deep-frying!
• Once you learn how to make peach cobbler egg rolls, the variations you can try are endless! Make the filling with other stone fruits, add extra spices, or serve the rolls with your favorite dip.
• This canned peach cobbler egg roll recipe is a fun, mess-free way to enjoy peach cobbler. The rolls are easy to grab and eat on the go, and you won’t need any utensils to serve them either.

Ingredients

Egg roll wrappers – They make up the crispy shell of the peach egg rolls. Just make sure you have the refrigerated egg roll wrappers and not the thinner spring roll wrappers!

Canned peaches – This recipe for peach cobbler egg rolls works with fresh, canned, or even frozen peaches. Fresh peaches require an extra step of peeling, so I typically stick to frozen and canned peaches for these dessert egg rolls.

Brown sugar –  Both light and dark brown sugar work. I don’t recommend substituting this with other sweeteners, as that caramel-like sweetness is what makes the peach cobbler filling so good.

Water and cornstarch – To help thicken the filling.

Vanilla extract – Feel free to experiment with different add-ins and aromatics! I think vanilla is a must-have for any peach cobbler egg rolls recipe.

Salted butter – Lends richness to the filling. You can use unsalted butter, but I’ll add in some salt to balance the sweetness of the fried peach cobbler egg rolls.

Granulated sugar and ground cinnamon – The cinnamon-sugar coating is optional, as this peach cobbler egg roll recipe is also delicious with dips and drizzles. Personally, I love these things with vanilla ice cream!

Canola oil – For frying the peach cobbler rolls. Always use a high-smoke-point oil so it can handle the heat!

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Frozen peaches

You can make these peach cobbler egg rolls with frozen peaches. Just thaw and drain the excess liquid before using them.

Cream cheese

Make this peach cobbler egg rolls recipe extra indulgent by adding a slice of cream cheese inside each roll. The richness of the cream cheese paired with the hot, crispy rolls is pure heaven, I promise!

Vanilla dip

These peach cobbler egg rolls with canned peaches will also go well with a glaze! I like to just whisk 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk and a bit of vanilla extract—easy peasy.

Tips For Making This Recipe

Check Your Wrappers

Check if your wrappers are actually egg roll wrappers! Spring roll and wonton wrappers won’t hold up the same way, and the rolls are likely to fall apart on you.

Avoid Soggy Rolls

Make sure your filling isn’t too wet by draining the canned peaches well and letting the mixture thicken before assembly. Additionally, check your oil temperature and don’t overcrowd the pan, or the peach cobbler egg rolls won’t crisp up properly.

Air Fry Them

Hate the excess mess and grease of deep-frying? Just lightly spray the peach rolls with cooking spray and air fry at 380°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Equipment

• Saucepan
• Frying pan
• Mixing bowls
• Tongs
• Wooden spoon
• Paper towels
• Pastry brush

Ingredients

• 12 pcs egg roll wrappers,
• 2 1/4 cups canned peaches, drained and diced
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• Canola oil for frying

Instructions

• Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth.
• Combine the peaches, slurry, brown sugar, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture begins to bubble, stirring continuously.
  
• Once the filling has visibly thickened, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the filling cool completely before assembly.
  
• Overlap two egg roll wrappers on a flat surface to form a diamond shape.
• Place a tablespoon of peach filling in the center of the wraps.
  
• Bring the bottom corner up and over the filling, then fold the two side corners toward the center.
  
• Brush the top corner with a small amount of water, then roll the egg roll up to finish. Press along the seam to secure the peach cobbler egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and peach mixture.
• On a separate plate, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan to 350°F. You can dip the end of a wooden spoon or chopstick to check if it's ready. You should see bubbles forming around the wood.
• Fry the peach cobbler egg rolls in the oil for 3 to 6 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  
• Transfer the fried peach cobbler egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess grease.
  
• After about 2 minutes, roll each egg roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
