Can’t get enough pumpkin during the fall? If
you’re hoping to branch out from the classics, like pumpkin pie and pumpkin
spice lattes, you may be on the search for popular recipes to try. Here, we
share a few of our favorite options that are sure to add some fall festivity to
your day. These recipes are easy to make anywhere, including your studio
apartment.

Creamy Pumpkin Soup with Grilled Cheese
Croutons
Warm soup and grilled cheese are a perfect
combination, and this creamy pumpkin soup with grilled cheese croutons
recipe takes things up a notch. It’s easy to prepare, too, and takes just 30

Apple Pumpkin Butter
Fruit butter is perfect for topping a plethora
of foods, such as waffles, toast, or even yogurt. Apple butter is a fan
favorite, and this recipe improves upon the
original by incorporating pumpkin. You’ll just need 2.5 pounds of apples
(Golden Delicious and Gala work well), a 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree, 2
tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice, ¼ cup of apple cider, and a slow cooker to
complete this recipe.
Pumpkin Sage Bacon Mashed Potatoes
When you need to spice up a main entree with a
stellar side dish, pumpkin sage bacon mashed potatoes might
