Fall Flavors Arrive in Minneapolis-St. Paul with Seasonal Dessert Recipes
As fall begins in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Jackie Thesing from Sweet Girl Treats MN is sharing recipes for apple-based desserts, featuring instructions for Apple Crisp Bars and Caramel Apple Bundt Cake.

Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, September 9, 2026 — As the crisp autumn air settles over Minneapolis-St. Paul, local baker Jackie Thesing, owner of Sweet Girl Treats MN, is ushering in the season with a collection of comforting apple-based dessert recipes. Thesing is sharing her expertise to help home bakers recreate classic fall flavors in their own kitchens.
Two featured recipes aim to capture the essence of fall: Apple Crisp Bars and Caramel Apple Bundt Cake. These selections highlight the versatility of apples, a staple of autumnal harvests, and offer accessible options for both novice and experienced bakers.
The Apple Crisp Bars are described as a convenient and delicious treat, perfect for sharing. The recipe typically involves a buttery, crumbly topping layered over tender baked apples, all enclosed within a bar form. This format makes them suitable for gatherings or as an easy dessert option.
Complementing the bars is the Caramel Apple Bundt Cake. This recipe elevates the traditional Bundt cake by incorporating apple flavors directly into the cake batter and often finishes with a decadent caramel glaze or sauce. The Bundt shape lends itself to elegant presentation, making it a centerpiece for any fall occasion.
Thesing’s initiative to share these recipes aligns with the seasonal shift, encouraging culinary exploration as the weather cools. While specific details on the preparation steps for each dessert are part of the shared recipes, the emphasis is on readily available ingredients and achievable baking techniques. Details regarding the origin of these specific recipes or Thesing’s background with Sweet Girl Treats MN beyond her role in sharing them were not provided.
The recipes are intended to provide a guide for home cooks looking to embrace the flavors of the fall season. Thesing’s contribution offers a sweet touch as the Minneapolis-St. Paul area transitions into its cooler months.
