Apple Pie Rice Krispie Treats - Easy Fall Dessert You'll Love

When you think of fall desserts, apple pie usually takes the crown—but what if we gave it a fun twist? Enter these Apple Pie Rice Krispie Treats: the childhood classic we all know and love, dressed up with cozy fall flavor. No oven, no fuss, just a simple Krispie Treats Recipe that’ll have everyone asking, “Wait, why didn’t we think of this sooner?”

The secret? A few easy tricks that make a world of difference. First off, use fresh marshmallows. Trust me, stale ones turn your treats into weird, clumpy bricks—no thanks. And FYI, don’t overheat the marshmallows. Low and slow is the way to go unless you’re into chewy cement-like squares (hard pass).

Here’s a pro move: reserve ½ cup of marshmallows before melting and stir them in with the cereal. That extra creamy, gooey bite? Pure magic. Oh, and always add butter. It gives that rich flavor and smooth texture that makes this Kellogg’s Rice Crispy Treats Recipe extra dreamy.

Worried about sticky fingers when pressing your bars? Just wet your hands with a little water. Weird hack, but it works like a charm. Also, don’t press too hard into the pan—you want light, airy squares, not dense bricks. And yeah, let them cool before cutting, or you’ll end up with a gooey mess.

Want to mix things up? You can swap flavors and try a Maple Rice Krispie Treats Recipe, whip up Apple Cider Rice Krispie Treats, or even experiment with Froot Loop Rice Krispie Treats and Reese’s Cereal Rice Krispie Treats. And if you’ve got a jar of Apple Butter Crock Pot goodness lying around? Drizzle it on top—chef’s kiss.

Bottom line: these cereal treats are the perfect mash-up of cozy fall vibes and nostalgic Rice Crispy Treats fun. Who’s hungry?

Ingredients

• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
• 5 cups crispy rice cereal
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Measure out ½ heaping cup of marshmallows and set them aside for later.

4. Add the cereal to the pot and mix until coated. Toss in the reserved marshmallows and stir again to distribute.
5. Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 pan.
