Le Creuset's "Whimsical" Apple-Shaped Dishes Are Perfect for Fall Baking
Fall is the superior season for a number of reasons, in my opinion, but the most significant one is the food. Even more specifically, the desserts. If you’re staying in on a fall day, one of the best ways to occupy your time is to bake a cozy treat. Of course, pumpkin-centric recipes reign supreme during the season — like pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, just to name a few. But with all of the fanfare surrounding pumpkins during this time of year, don’t forget about apples.
We’re in peak apple season right now, and beyond picking them at a farm or stocking up on them at the supermarket, there’s another apple-related item that you can snag to make the most of fall. Le Creuset is offering a gorgeous two-piece dish set that — you guessed it — is shaped like the fruit. It’s both whimsical and practical for baking and serving. Scroll to find out why it’s worth the splurge.

What Are Le Creuset’s Mini Apple Tart Dishes?
This set is beyond adorable, which is something I always look for in my cookware and dishware. It’ll make your fall baking feel that much more special and fun — and you can use these pieces year-round, as the apple theme is fairly versatile. (At least, more versatile than pumpkin-themed items.) The miniature bowl comes in Cerise red and Kiwi green to really drive the look home, and the glaze also has the benefit of being easy to clean, long-lasting, and dishwasher-safe.
Plus, you can use the dishes for a wide range of kitchen tasks, including serving dips and snacks. Of course, because these dishes are made of Le Creuset’s premium stoneware, you can also bake individual portions of desserts, gratins, and casseroles right there in the dish. The material’s top-notch heat retention will keep contents warm or cold.
What Le Creuset Shoppers Are Saying
Average Rating: 5/5
“Perfect for little baked desserts that can go from the oven, to the refrigerator, to the table for single servings. I will advise not to overfill them, as they will bubble out during cooking. Cute piece for occasional usage.” —Peter
“Great for siblings to make their own — especially if the adult is also rolling out dough and preparing filling for a 9″ pie. I use these to teach my girls to bake; they each have their own, roll their crust, add their filling. Great for small-size tartlets or hand pies and for experimenting with new recipes/filling!” —VI Warshawski
Your bakeware should be just as stunning as the dishes you make, and you can’t do better than this adorable set. Despite its eye-catching presence, each piece is shallow and small enough to take up minimal space in your cabinet, which is another huge win. All signs point to grabbing this set before the season ends — so don’t wait too long!
