Let’s get one thing out of the way: fritters of any kind are delicious and get an A+ in our book. The mixture of doughy batter fried in oil is truly a winning combination. However, what makes these apple fritters so perfect is the fact that they’re sweet, but not overly sweet. The element of fruitiness gives this treat just the right amount of healthiness and a lot less guilt than your average fritter.

We all love a good classic. But for a twist on the more traditional pumpkin pie, butternut squash is the perfect solution. This versatile gourd can be turned into pretty much anything, from soup to pasta sauce, but we love it best in this sweet casserole form. Add some whipped cream on top, and your dish will be officially ready to impress.

Pasta is one of those foods that is absolutely perfect all year round. There really is no right or wrong time for this carby meal. However, the addition of brown butter gives this savory pasta dish just the sweet kick it needs, making it the perfect chilly-weather comfort food. We honestly can’t imagine wanting to come home to anything other than this.
