15 Single-Serve Fall Desserts You Don't Have to Share

Air Fryer Pear Crisp for Two

Date night at home is even sweeter with these individual pear crisps (and you won't have to fight over the last spoonful). The crisps "bake" in the air fryer — just the right size for two ramekins. Baking for one? Chill the second ramekin and warm in the oven tomorrow.

Skinny Pumpkin Pie Pudding

Skip the pie crust and the oven with this instant, no-cook pudding. Pumpkin-flavored pudding mix, canned pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice make this easy dessert taste like fall in a bowl. For yet another pumpkin hit, top with toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch.

Pumpkin Pot De Crème

Think of pot de crème as pudding's incredibly lavish cousin. This fall-themed version is flavored with warm spices, pumpkin, and a splash of rum, then very gently baked until silky. The best part? You can make and chill ahead, then enjoy whenever you need a sweet fix.

Pumpkin Pie Mug Cake

When you need a single-serve fall dessert in a hurry, this easy mug cake fits the bill. Some reviewers added a bit of leavening to the batter and loved the results. "It was delicious ! The only changes I made are adding ½ teaspoon of baking powder and using pumpkin pie spice (about ¾ teaspoon) instead of all the spices. I served it with a little whipped cream on top. Also, I mixed the dough in a measuring bowl and divided it into 2 mugs. I will definitely make it again," says home cook ImForgivenToo.

Baked Apples with Oatmeal Filling

A super-simple method and just 5 ingredients make this the perfect any-night-of-the-week dessert, especially when you're craving those classic baked apple flavors. We love reviewer formymen's suggestion of using up overripe apples for this recipe. As written, the recipe yields four baked apples, but you could cut the recipe in half and have one apple for dessert and one for breakfast.

Apple Hand Pies

No sliver slices here: These hearty apple-filled hand pies will satisfy anyone with an appetite for fall desserts. The turnover style also makes them portable and freezable so you can take and bake as many as you like. The recipe yields four hand pies, but you can freeze them individually and bake them one at a time when you're in the mood for a tasty little pie all to yourself.

Air Fryer Apple Crisp

Recipe submitter Kim's Cooking Now says you can use any kind of apple you like to make this scaled-down version of a classic fall dessert, but she likes to use a mixture of sweet and tart apples.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies for Two

Need a recipe to use up a tiny bit of leftover pumpkin purée? Give these moist and chewy cookies a try. The recipe makes two cookies — one for now and one for later.

Apple Turnovers

If hand pies are apple pies in single-serve form, turnovers are the same for French apple tarts. Both use flaky, buttery puff pastry, except here the pastry encases the apple filling. They also freeze well so you can reheat as needed.

Healthier Apple Crisp for Two

This classic fall dessert serves just two—perfect for when creator Kim and her husband crave something sweet. Reviewer Becky added her extra crisp to the next morning's oatmeal. "It was delicious!!!" she says.

Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake

"This is my own version of the chocolate microwave mug cake," says recipe submitter safinabakes1231. "This chocolaty fudgy treat is truly decadent and great for nights when I need a yummy dessert that is ready in less than 10 minutes! Chocolate chips make this recipe even better."

Air Fryer Brown Sugar and Pecan Roasted Apples

"Absolutely delicious! I was only making it for one person, so I only used one apple and kept the other ingredients the same. The only other minor change is I tossed all the ingredients together instead of just sprinkling the pecan mixture on top because I wanted it covering every surface," says reviewer Kelly Fenwick

Pudding in a Mug

"This is quick and easy," says reviewer My Hot Southern Mess. "My family loved it and it was an easy snack to teach my son to make. I used 1oz of semi sweet chocolate chips and they worked perfectly. Half of my family threw it into the fridge to cool down and the others ate it warm."

Air Fryer Stuffed Apples

Recipe submitter Yoly describes this single-serve version of a classic fall dessert as, "An apple stuffed with raisins and walnuts and air fried. The top is crunchy while the inside is soft, juicy, and creamy. The pinch of nutmeg adds an additional layer of flavor."

Apple-Cinnamon Burrito

Apple slices are cooked in the microwave and stuffed into flour tortillas with a buttery brown sugar and cinnamon sauce and a scoop of ice cream. Reviewer Tammy Lynn recommends you use a small apple and cool the mixture thoroughly before rolling it into the tortilla.
