We’re kind of obsessed with apple goodies for fall. No, not that Apple, although that’s pretty cool too. We’re talking about the crisp, refreshing, tart but sweet fruit that shows up in all varieties of pies, tarts, and cakes this time of year. We’ve rounded up 12 delicious and creative ways to serve up some autumn-y goodness in apple form.

1. Apple Pie Cookies: As much as we love apple pie (which is a lot), it’s not always the most convenient treat to grab when we’re craving something sweet. These cookies are just as delicious but so much easier to gobble up. (Recipe and photo: Tracey’s Culinary Adventures)

2. Caramel Apple Cheesecake Brownies: Seriously, just saying the name of these treats gets us drooling. These are a perfectly decadent treat for a special day. (Recipe and photo: Beth Michelle)

3. Beer Soaked Apple Pie with a Cheddar Beer Crust: Baking with beer? Count us in. This twist on the classic tastes even more American than regular apple pie. (Recipe and photo: The Beeroness)

4. Sage, Apple, and Cheddar Scones: We’re loving these savory fall scones.The incredibly flavorful mixture of sage, fresh apples, and sharp cheddar makes these a must for your autumn table. (Recipe and photo: Buried Carrots)

5. Three Cheese Apple Cranberry Pizza: This takes pizza to a whole other level. It’s seasonal, slightly sweet, and completely covered in delicious cheese. (Recipe and photo: Ari’s Menu)

6. Stuffed French Toast with Bacon, Goat Cheese, and Apples: This is our kind of breakfast. We really didn’t think french toast could get much better, but the addition of apples, goat cheese, and bacon makes it possible. (Recipe and photo: Home is Where the Cookies Are)

7. Apple and Blueberry Crumble: Not only is this fruit crumble tart, sweet, and tasty, it also happens to be vegan and completely naturally sweetened. (Recipe and photo: Sage Recipes)

8. Apple Caramel Cupcakes: We couldn’t resist including these adorably decorated cupcakes that just scream fall. Not only are they super cute, but they’ve got the incredible flavor combo of apple and caramel. Yum! (Recipe and photo: alanabread)

9. Green Apple Guacamole: Avocado and apple come together to make a delicious dip that makes a perfect appetizer to impress your guests. (Recipe and photo: Sweet Freedom)

10. Apple Mojito Pie Bites: These mini cocktail-flavored pies feature a few of our favorite ingredients: apples, lime, mint, and rum. Amazing! (Recipe and photo: Chasing Delicious)

11. Apple Pie Moonshine: Let’s switch gears from a booze-inspired baked good to a pie-inspired drink. This cocktail is a necessary way to kick off any fall party. (Recipe and photo: A Zesty Bite)

12. Parsnip and Apple Soup: This warm and creamy soup is the perfect way to get cozy on a chilly fall night. Plus you can make it ahead and freeze it for a quick dinner. (Recipe and photo: It’s Not About the Recipe)

Oh Oz! Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Stun In First 'Wicked: For Good' Poster.

I've been waiting to see Wicked: Part 2 (officially titles Wicked: For Good) since long before the credits rolled on Elphaba's "Defying Gravity" in November of 2024. I was born for this! And not only have we gotten a brief glimpse at Cynthia Erivo's iconic Wicked Witch of the West look, we also just got a look at the new Wicked: For Good poster thanks to some folks at CinemaCon — and it shows off Elphaba and Glinda's (Ariana Grande) incredible costumes in the new movie.

Here's a breakdown of that Wicked: For Good poster from CinemaCon — and Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande's new Wicked costumes.

What's up with the Wicked 2 poster?

The first Wicked: For Good poster debuted in Las Vegas during CinemaCon, and attendees immediately clocked the new images upon arriving. After Wicked ended with Elphaba escaping the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum), Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), and the Emerald City, and Glinda staying behind, it's no surprise that the first look at both these ladies features a huge chasm between them. Another X user also points out the two cliffs and the Wizard's castle between them form a W!

But my favorite detail about the Wicked 2 poster is Glinda and Elphaba's costumes. With her broom, her hat, and her coat, Elphaba looks more like the Wicked Witch of the West than ever before, while Glinda has swapped her all-pink wardrobe for a periwinkle gown.

I immediately clocked the color shift — especially since Glinda is working so closely with Madame Morrible now, and it totally feels like the clothing reflects just how much influence Glinda's allowing Madame Morrible to have over her. After all, the Emerald City might be green, but Shiz University is all blue (as are Madame Morrible's most iconic outfits).

What does "for good" mean in Wicked?

"For Good" is a song in Act 2 of Wicked (that we'll also hear in Wicked: For Good) about how Elphaba and Glinda have changed each other's lives forever — and, even though they say "who can say if I've been changed for the better?", I'd say that they way they affected each other's empathy, confidence, and kindness proves they really did change each other for the better.

What is Wicked: For Good going to be about?

Wicked: Part Two is going to pick up after the events of Part One: Elphaba is on the run (and being blamed for everything going wrong), Glinda has stayed behind and become the spokesperson for the Wizard, and the animals continue to lose their ability to speak. Meanwhile, Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) is determined to find Elphaba, and Nessarose (Marissa Bode) is increasingly infatuated with Boq (Ethan Slater).

When does Wicked: For Good come out?

Wicked: For Good is flying into theaters November 21, 2025.

Who's in the cast of Wicked: For Good?

The Wicked: For Good cast features all your favorite stars from the first movie:

  • Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba: an emerald-green young woman possessing remarkable magic.
  • Ariana Grande as Glinda: Elphaba's best friend who's morphed from popular girl to political spokesperson.
  • Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero: a dashing prince who refuses to believe the rumors about Elphaba.
  • Ethan Slater as Boq: a munchkin who's in love with Glinda.
  • Marissa Bode as Nessarose: Elphaba's little sister.
  • Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard of Oz: a man from our world who found himself in Oz.
  • Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible: Shiz University's sorcery professor.

Zendaya Will Play Ronnie Spector In A24 Biopic 'Be My Baby'

Zendaya's got her plate full with an engagement to Tom Holland and starring in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, but she's still on a mission. Her latest project finds her embodying singer Veronica "Ronnie" Spector in A24's Be My Baby and it feels like the ideal role for her. It's true she's known for her acting and ethereal style (guided by Law Roach's watchful and genius eyes), but Zendaya also has a beautiful singing voice. In our honest (and unfiltered opinion), it's about time she's granted the opportunity to portray a legendary figure in the music industry.

Scroll to learn everything we know about Be My Baby and Zendaya's role as Ronnie Spector!

What is the plot for 'Be My Baby?'

Deadlinereports Be My Baby will cover Ronnie Spector's life as it specifically pertains to being with late producer Phil Spector. Harper's Bazaar also reports the film will show the formation of the Ronettes, their record deal at Phil Spector's Philles Records.

Though he was known for contributing to some of the greatest acts in music (the Ronettes and Ike & Tina Turner), Phil was still a problematic man who eventually committed a deathly crime (via The Independent). Before that, The Independent revealed Ronnie & Phil's marriage was the result of an affair that led to the singer having to run for her life after being held hostage in her own home.

Did Ronnie Spector pen a memoir that has the same name as the film?

Amazon

Yes! Ronnie Spector's memoir Be My Baby was released after her death and gives readers an inside look at being a member of the Ronettes, fame, and volatile moments in her relationship with producer Phil Spector. Though parts of her story will garner tears, Ronnie also details the highs of her career once she found her voice again.

Did Zendaya have to audition for the role of Ronnie Spector in 'Be My Baby?'

According to Variety, Ronnie Spector selected Zendaya to play her in Be My Baby. The singer was also set to be an executive producer of the film before passing away in 2022 (via Deadline).

Her death garnered a heartfelt tribute on Zendaya's Instagram as the actress referred to her as "a magical force of greatness." She ended her lengthy caption with, "I hope to make you proud."

Who's the director and screenplay writer for 'Be My Baby?'

Filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Mufasa, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Moonlight) will direct Be My Baby while Dave Kajganich (Bones and All) is in charge of the film's screenplay.

Production hasn't started yet for Be My Baby, but we're looking forward to seeing Ronnie Spector's life told through Zendaya, Barry Jenkins, and Dave Kajganich's eyes.
