11 Holiday Desserts You Can Enjoy All Season Long

The colder the weather, the warmer the oven, right? The holiday season sparks the inner baker inside a lot of us, even if we almost never bake. If that’s not the case for you, don’t worry. I’ve compiled some of my favorite holiday recipes that are easy to make, whether you bake or not. Some are no-baking-required and others will make you the ultimate bake-off winner in your own home. Enjoy these holiday treats in their prime season!

Soft and Simple Apple Cake with Cream Cheese

Starting off with moist, fluffy, and buttery goodness, this Simple Apple Cake is perfect for using up those apples in your kitchen. Have it with tea and your friends will be asking for the recipe! If there are any leftovers (which is unlikely when it tastes this good), you can simply heat it up and enjoy with coffee for breakfast the next morning. It’ll still be perfectly soft!

How to make a Crunchy and Sweet Chocolate Kielbasa Dessert

This Chocolate Kielbasa comes from my childhood. Made with animal cookies, walnuts and smooth chocolate. All from scratch. I love it. This is the dessert I ask my mom to make for my birthday instead of cake. It’s addicting.

Sweet Winter Trees Dessert with Nuts and Condensed Milk

There’s no need for complicated ingredients when you have this simple recipe, and one that’s perfectly winter-y, too! In my childhood, these Sweet Winter Trees were always the star of the show on the Christmas or New Year’s dessert table, all perfectly dusted with powdered sugar “snow”. They really add the perfect winter vibe amongst the cakes and sweets!

Sugarless Dough Rogaliki (rugelach)

Easy to make and easy to eat, these Sugarless Dough Rogaliki are a popular choice if you want to keep a little further away from sweet, sugary dessert. The inside of the rolls can be customized, too! You can choose any kind of jam, or add in Nutella, honey, cinnamon, nuts, strawberries, or anything else that you can think of. These ones will be a hit!

Autumn Pumpkin Muffins with Sweet Vanilla Glaze

If you visit the pumpkin patch, baking these Autumn Pumpkin Muffins with the pumpkin you pick is a great activity to do afterwards with the kiddos. Topped with a Sweet Vanilla Glaze, they’ll be gone before you know it. If you want to bake them long after pumpkin patch season is over, you can find pumpkin puree in the baking aisle year round. Enjoy these fluffy and soft treats!
