The sweet and spice filled aroma of pumpkin flavor desserts fill the air as the Fall food season approaches. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin rolls and Starbucks’ pumpkin spiced latte are what Fall is truly about.      

Junior Gabby Maiorano has her own favorite Fall desserts,

“ Caramel apples and pumpkin pie are my favorite Fall desserts…,” said Maiorano.

Foods teacher Martha Sandusky also has her own favorite fall treats,

“I usually make pumpkin cookies, and in the Fall I make apple pies and a zucchini bread with lemon and poppyseed,” said Sandusky.

This fall, the must try desserts are: pumpkin spiced latte, pumpkin pie, apple tarts, pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin or apple doughnuts.

Pumpkin spiced lattes from Starbucks have everyone going crazy for Fall. This drink is the perfect combination of pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg spices.
