Scrumptious Fall Caramel Sauce Desserts
We love fall - the turning leaves, the crisp air, the slanted light. And, perhaps best of all, cozy fall baking in warm ovens emitting the scent of ginger, pumpkin and apple.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most scrumptious-looking fall desserts, which - you guessed it! - include a caramel sauce element. A drizzle of deep, dark, smooth caramel sauce can make a dessert pop, especially one loaded with home-made goodness and a dash of pumpkin. From galettes to cupcakes to cakes and pie and bars - we dare you NOT to try to bake one of these gorgeous-looking recipes.

Easier than an apple pie and just as yummy?! Yes, please! Finish with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream, and this looks like a fall match made in heaven.

GINGER CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL POACHED PEARS
With powdered ginger and crystalized ginger, this recipe is sure to pack a punch. Topped with poached pears, and then drizzled with caramel sauce, this cake seems like a good balance of wet, dry, and sweet. We love the look of the pears for an afternoon fall treat!

SALTED CARAMEL PEAR PIE WITH GINGER GELATO
As the recipe states “a pear pie lightly spiced and sweet with salted caramel, encased in a crispy, flaky all-butter crust and topped with fresh ginger gelato.” Need we say more?! If you don’t have an ice cream maker and can’t find ginger gelato, we’re sure plain or ginger whipped cream could be good too.

Caramel on top of streusel on top of pumpkin cheesecake on top of regular cheesecake on top of a graham cracker crust. Wow Za!!! Sounds like a lot work, but skimming the recipe - it seems manageable - according to this reader reviews.

Give us all the cakes with caramel drips. We are digging the look of the caramel buttercream and streusel sandwiched in between layers of gingery cake.

Our favorite seasonal pie: pumpkin, of course, is layered with a caramel sauce. Why haven’t we thought of this before? And we’re loving the look of the fall pastry leaves.

PUMPKIN CUPCAKES WITH MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
While a cream cheese frosting is always appreciated, we like how this recipe mixes things up with a light, airy marshmallow frosting on a spiced pumpkin cupcake. Perfect for a socially distanced fall picnic.

APPLE CINNAMON BUNDT CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL SWIRL
Who doesn’t love a good bundt? Especially when apples are paired with a beautiful caramel swirl, ground walnuts, and a touch of cinnamon.
