8 Easy Vegan Apple Desserts for Fall
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Read the full disclosure here.
These vegan apple desserts cover the useful fall formats: glazed cakes, a cinnamon-swirled quick bread, muffins, a small-batch oatmeal pudding, and slow-cooker apples. Every recipe is dairy-free and egg-free, and each one uses real apples rather than relying on apple flavoring.
Choose by serving style and oven space. The muffins and pudding bake work well for smaller portions, while the Bundt cake, coffee cake, and apple fritter recipes give you more slices to share. If the oven is already occupied, the crockpot apples keep dessert moving in a separate appliance. For another seasonal collection, see these easy vegan pumpkin desserts.
Vegan Apple Cakes, Bread, and Muffins
Vegan Apple Bundt Cake with Caramel Glaze
Three chopped apples bring fruit to this tall Bundt cake, while cinnamon runs through the batter and a brown-sugar caramel glaze finishes the top. The recipe makes 12 slices and bakes for 55 to 70 minutes, so give the center time to set before turning it out of the pan.
Vegan Apple Fritter Cake
This apple fritter cake layers chopped apples with cinnamon and brown sugar, then adds a simple vanilla glaze after baking. It needs about 20 minutes of prep and 50 minutes in the oven, and the finished cake cuts into eight servings.
Vegan Apple Fritter Bread
Fresh apple chunks and a cinnamon swirl turn this quick bread into a sliceable apple-fritter dessert. The loaf takes about 15 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to bake, then the glaze goes on after it has cooled. One loaf yields 10 slices.
Vegan Apple Fritter Muffins
These muffins carry the apple-fritter idea into individual portions with apple pieces, layers of cinnamon-brown sugar, and vanilla glaze. Both prep and baking take about 20 minutes, and the recipe makes 11 muffins.
Vegan Caramel Apple Cake
This simple apple cake is paired with a blended caramel sauce and cuts into 15 pieces. The cake takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 50 minutes to bake, which makes it one of the larger-yield options in this collection.
Vegan Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake
Fresh apples, walnuts, cinnamon, oatmeal streusel, and vanilla glaze give this coffee cake several distinct layers of texture. It bakes for about 50 minutes and makes eight servings. Let it cool before glazing so the topping stays on the cake instead of soaking straight in.
Spoonable Vegan Apple Desserts
Country Vegan Crockpot Apples
Apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, vegan butter, and lemon juice cook down into a warm spoonable dessert in the slow cooker. The recipe serves four and cooks for about two hours. It is the practical choice when you want to keep the oven free.
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pudding Bake
Blended oats, plant-based milk, maple syrup, and a chia egg form the soft pudding base, with diced apple folded in before baking. This is a two-serving recipe with 15 minutes of prep and 40 minutes in the oven, useful when a full cake would be more dessert than you need.
How to Choose an Easy Vegan Apple Dessert
- For the largest group: the caramel apple cake yields 15 pieces, while the Bundt cake makes 12 slices.
- For individual portions: use the apple fritter muffins or the two-serving oatmeal pudding bake.
- For limited oven space: make the crockpot apples in the slow cooker.
- For a bakery-style finish: choose one of the glazed fritter recipes or the caramel-glazed Bundt cake.
