I am probably not the person to be writing about this.

I adore pumpkin. I am one of those pumpkin-crazy people who have to stuff my face with as much pumpkin as possible. I start as soon as the labor day flags are put away and go strong all the way until the winter holiday decorations are tucked back into storage. Nothing is safe from pumpkin during this time: pancakes, breads, sweets, even risotto, and soup. I love it that much.

But…back to the point here. I have come to the realization that everyone does not like pumpkin as much as I do. Some might have even been known to…dislike it. Yes! You heard that right. I know, crazy, right? So, in honor and respect of all the non-pumpkin lovers out there, I have devised this list of tasty, delicious, completely pumpkin free desserts that say “fall” just as much as a loaf of delicious pumpkin bread.

Apple Fritter Bread
