5 Lucious Fruit Desserts You’ll Love

One of the best things about early autumn is that a huge variety of fruits are beginning to ripen — and few things are more luscious than a well-crafted dessert made with fresh fruit — after all, fruit is considered to be nature's candy, and most people can't help but love it. Fortunately, almost countless ways exist to use fruits in desserts. The following are just five of the many creative ways that residents of apartments in Phoenix can enjoy desserts using seasonal fresh fruit. 

Poached Pears in Wine

This classic autumn sweet treat only takes a few minutes to prepare on the stovetop. You can use any type of wine for this except for deep, rich red wines — their flavor profile is just too overwhelming to pair well with pears. Sparkling rose is an excellent choice.

Blackberry Mousse

Pureed blackberry mixed with a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla makes an excellent after-dinner delight. Adding egg whites ensures the desired thickness. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. 

Ginger-Rhubarb Crisp

Simply replace the apple with rhubarb in your favorite apple crisp recipe, sprinkle with powdered ginger, and bake as usual. You'll love the way your apartment smells while it's in the oven almost as much as that first warm bite served with French vanilla ice cream. 

Cranberry-Pecan Pie

Stir in a couple of handfuls of ripe cranberries the next time you make a pecan pie for a delicious and nutritious variation of an old classic. Serve warm from the oven with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Plum Buckle

New England's answer to traditional cobblers, you can make buckles with almost any type of firm fruit, but there's something about plum buckle in autumn that's excellent. Simply place the plums in the bottom of a baking pan, pour on the buckle batter, and let your oven do the rest of the magic.
