Celebrate Fall: My Autumn Apple Dessert Party with KitchenAid

Autumn is the perfect time to gather your friends and family to celebrate the season! Fall is ideal to pick seasonal fruit that’s in season and there are sooo many apple recipes! I encourage you to grab up your favorite varieties of apples – Macintosh, Braeburn, Golden Delicious and throw a dessert party. They are simple to organize and decorate for and if everyone brings an apple dish, it will make it that much sweeter.

I paired up with KitchenAid® to show off their gorgeous colors of the season. From their Empire Red –  Traditional Cast Iron 3-Quart Casserole that I used to bake the Apple Crumb Bars Recipe to the Persimmon (Orange) Nesting Ceramic 4 Piece Set I made a version of Apple Dumplings with Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe. The beautiful orange and reds are a good theme color to start decorating your dessert party table. Here’s how to create your table:

Decorating your Autumn Dessert Party Table:

Choose colors that resonate with the season. Reds, greens, natural burlap in dark and light shades of brown can be used as your tablecloth or table runner and throughout your display areas. Cover the table with the runner and choose 2-3 colors that you will use repeatedly throughout the display. Gather wicker baskets, galvanized tin pails, and rustic or metallic chargers below your serving dishes.

Use Apples as Decoration and as Edible Display

When decorating with apples remember they can be edible display and used around your table for color. Grab various size apples and an assortment of types to bring color around your dishes. I used an apple around the apple crumb cake to add color to a neutral plate display.

The Empire Red KitchenAid® Electric Tea Kettle is one of my favorites. It plugs into the wall, and has a removable base to bring it directly to your buffet table. Guests can pour hot water for tea, or you can serve warm apple cider to keep with the apple theme!

Lastly, gather your favorite red napkins, silverware, and metallic chargers to add reflectance to your autumn table. My family wished we could have an Autumn Apple Dessert Party everyday! Thanks KitchenAid® for the wonderful opportunity to showcase the colorful side of entertaining.
