Cinnamon adds a distinct fall flavor, so consider this ingredient as essential as the apples. Read on for 25 recipes that take advantage of this perfect pairing, from apple-cinnamon oatmeal to old-fashioned apple dumplings.

“These are absolutely amazing. Both the wife and I thought they tasted better than imagined, and after frying the flour tortillas they had kind of a pie dough flavor to them. I recommend using a shaker for the cinnamon-sugar in order to have more control of the amount. Make sure you add the cinnamon-sugar while they are still hot, using tongs to turn,” says bd.weld, who topped them off with caramel sauce.
