The Most Popular Fall Recipes of 2025
Happy first day of fall! I wish you could see my excitement! This is my seventh year pulling together our most-loved fall recipes into one big list, and I couldnโt be happier to be sharing it with you today.
At home, the leaves are glowing shades of yellow and orange, and the air is crisp. Such a big change from the 80 degrees I had in New York last week. Being back has me fully embracing fall mode, with apple and pumpkin candles burning and cozy layers on. I even made my first pot of chili yesterday (with beer bread, of course). It feels like the season has truly arrived.
In this roundup, youโll find everything from festive cocktails for Halloween and Thanksgiving to cozy family dinners, fall salads, hearty soups and chili, plus all the dessertsโapple, pumpkin, and plenty of chocolate. There are old favorites youโve loved for years, along with newer recipes that became instant hits last fall.
Iโd love to hear from youโwhat recipes are your go-tos this time of year? And what are you hoping to see this fall and holiday season? October always brings cozy dinners, golden leaves, and of course, Halloween fun. November turns to Thanksgiving, then itโs straight into holiday baking and entertaining. I have so many ideas, but I always love knowing what youโre most excited about too.
So here we goโฆ the most popular fall recipes on HBH, all in one place for you to recreate and enjoy. Let me know your favorites and the stories behind themโI love hearing how these recipes become a part of your fall traditions!

The Most Popular Fall Recipes of 2025!
This post was originally published on September 22, 2025
Thank you! This new format makes it much easier to scroll down and have a good overview. I agree with some that maybe you could reduce the number, but youโre on the right track with the new layout.
Your recipes are always a great hit at home.
Thanks so much, Agnes! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment! Glad you are enjoying this format!
Thank for sharing these recipes
Happy to share, Shavon!
The new format is much easier to follow. Why does it say top 20 recipes though and then lists way way more than 20. I think 20 would be more than enough, even 10 would suffice. More isnโt always better, sometimes its just overwhelming. I honestly just stopped scrolling.
Hey Janie,
Thanks so much for your comment today. Good to know you are enjoying the new format, I will definitely work on sharing less recipes in the round ups! Thanks!
I love the new format, and I think the number of recipes is just fine! I definitely see the queso chili and smoky apple cider marg in my future!
Hey Valerienne,
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying the new format, I appreciate your comment. Hope you enjoy the chili and marg!
Love the new format! Definitely easier to read. Lots of good recipes that Iโm excited to make this fall!
Yay! Thanks so much for this feedback, Emily! So glad you like the new format!
Iโm all for sharing recipes but this feels overwhelming! I do not understand why youโre unwilling to listen to feedback. Even in your community group people are asking for the number to be reduced, and you never listen.
Thanks for the comment, Rita. Is there a more realistic number of recipes that you suggest I share? I appreciate your feedback!
Like 20 or less!
Way too many to slog thru. Please consider reducing the amount you add in the โfavoriteโ posts.
Thanks for your feedback, Joanne!
