As far as fall fruits go, the apple, in all its glorious varieties, rules the roost. Of course, when most think of apple recipes, they immediately think of apple pie. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

However, the apple is far more versatile than its often given credit. Here are eight different fall apple recipes that aren’t pie.

• Apple Butter

  Whether you spread it on a piece of toast or eat it from a spoon, apple butter is a delightful fall treat. Plus, it’s super easy to make in a slow cooker and will make your home smell heavenly.

• Apple Chips

  Apple chips are a tasty snack, but store-bought varieties can be pricey. Good thing you can easily make some in your oven!

• Apple Strudel

  Just thinking about this light, flaky pastry is making our mouths water.

• Fried Apple Cheddar Soup

  Not all apple recipes are sweet; some are savory, like this Fried Apple Cheddar Soup, which would make for a wonderful lunch on a cool fall day.

• Caramel Apple Cheese Ball

  Not only is this Caramel Apple Cheese Ball super-easy to make, it always makes for quite the appetizer that many of your guests will devour.

• Caramel Apple Poke Cake

  The poke cake is a very fun and tasty dessert, and the caramel apple mixture and cream cheese frosting that tops this one is the definition of *chef’s kiss.*

• Apple Crisp Cookie Cups

  Okay, so these are pie-adjacent, but come on! Apple pie filling inside an oatmeal cookie cup? Who can resist that?!

• Autumn Apple Sangria

  Last, but not least, kick back with this light, refreshing Autumn Apple Sangria, but sip responsibly, because it packs a punch.
