Apple cider recipes often make more than you can drink. If you find yourself with extra cider, don’t throw it away. Make one of these tasty recipes using apple cider to add a taste of Fall to your table. Since these recipes call for standard cider and not hard cider, they contain no alcohol, making them perfect for the whole family.

Since fall in the Texas Hill Country could just as easily bring temperatures in the 90s as temperatures in the 60s, having a cooling option to make with cider is always a good idea. This recipe for caramel apple cider floats from Celebrating Sweets combines everything you love about the fizzy, creamy Coke float and uses sparkling cider instead. These desserts taste like caramel coated apples in a glass. You must try this on the next hot fall afternoon.

Even avowed salad-haters will love this candied apple and walnut salad from Crème de la Crumb. This is an apple cider recipe that integrates the fall flavors of apples and nuts. Crumbled bacon will surely convert those who claim to not like greens. The tangy and sweet apple cider dressing uses both apple cider vinegar and apple juice, but you can use non-alcoholic apple cider instead of juice if you wish.

Some mornings, the choice between doughnuts and muffins is too hard to make. With this recipe for cider doughnut muffins from Striped Spatula, you never have to choose again.

But their indulgent taste means they don’t taste like it.
