Enjoy 3 easy tips to setting a fall table, plus an Apple Goody Dessert to serve for a dinner party dessert. Add a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top!
Hello Friends! Today I’m sharing with you a NEW book my friend Melissa wrote with KariAnne Wood, But Where Do I Put the Couch? You can buy the book today!
I’m also sharing a delicious apple crisp recipe, Apple Goody Dessert. This is my go-to apple dessert recipe, especially for fall, when there is an abundance of apples.
Apple Goody Dessert
It’s just a perfect homestyle comfort dessert that’s an easy dessert to make for an autumn dinner. Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
This book is beautiful, full of pictures and tips and a little bit of humor. Buy it, HERE.
Apple Goody Dessert
Also, enjoy this simple Apple Goody Dessert recipe, a not-too-sweet fall dessert that everyone loves!
Start with your favorite apples (we used Golden Delicious because this recipe is inspired by our friend’s apple tree). Then add the usual “crisp” ingredients.
Cardamom makes everything taste better! It’s citrusy, minty, and spicy, and it’s one of my favorite fall spices!
How to set the table
I get asked all the time, how do you set a simple table for guests?
It’s easy, and fall is one of my favorite seasons for getting an invitation on the calendar.

3 easy tips to setting a fall table
Also just in time for fall, here are 3 simple tips for table decorating:
- Use flowers in season. Look around and gather the plants in season (mums, fall leaves). Right now at the Farmer’s Market you can buy fresh lavender.
- Use your everyday dishes, silverware, and waterglasses. I love to keep a table cloth ironed, hanging in the hall closet, and a set of ironed cloth napkins ready. But of course, paper napkins work just fine, too.
- Where will you eat? Set the table early, tablecloth or not, as it gives you a BOOST to know the table is ready. Just focus on the meal and getting organized before your guests arrive.
Fall is the perfect time to host an “early” outdoor dinner party! Nothing on this table is brand new!
Set a fall table
- Tablecloth – Target (a year ago)
- Dinner Plate Reactive Glaze – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia AFFLINK >> HERE for set of 4
- Chargers (I bought at a yard sale about 10 years ago)
- Cloth napkins – World Market (clearance)
- Flowers – Mums on the deck! Plus a small bouquet of yummy smelling lavender from the Bend Farmer’s Market
Elegant and beautiful.
Warm fall dessert
Another TIP: I love to have dessert reaady to pop into the oven when the guests arrive. If you make this recipe ahead, you can bake it right as you sit down for dinner. This way the dessert is warm when it comes time for serving.

I love entertaining in the fall. Candles and twinkle lights make things so cozy.
I like to mix decor pieces. When doing so, what’s the most important thing to keep in mind?
That looks so yummy! We have been adding cardamon to our coffee grounds before brewing. Will have to try your Apple Crisp. Thanks for sharing!
Love this post! The apple goody is close to my apple crisp, but I just may have to try it! Fall is a great time for beautiful decorations.
YUm looks
i have red carpet for now what is the best color for the curtains
I would avoid green since it would look like Christmas with the red carpet. But I think a navy would look nice.
With a switch in the butter, perfect for the vegans in our family. Thank you!
Can’t wait to try this dessert, my mom used to make the best apple crisp. It’s still hot in AZ so I’ll wait a bit before I try this, thank you!
I love fall and that means soups & apple desserts so you had me with the minestrone & apple goody recipes. Will try your recipes this month as I get back into cooking mode!
I love Apple Crisp, which is what we call this recipe. So perfect for autumn, and our apple trees are loaded this year!
What accent colors would you use with grey as a base color and wanting a farmhouse style of decor?
I’ve never used cardamom in a crisp. I’ll have to give it a try!
I make a similar apple “crisp.” I will have to try adding cardamon.
The dessert looks delicious!
Awesome, I have pets so it’s so hard to get blinds that are suitable for the front of the house.
This apple dessert looks so yummy!
Yummy recipe for fall.
It looks real yummy. I can’t wait to try it! The fall is my favorite time of the year even though I have to travel north into the mountains of Arizona to feel the cooler weather. Way too hot in the valley.
What a yummy dessert!
I can’t wait for a little cooler temperatures. Love fall and this looks delish!
This dessert looks delicious and perfect for fall! I am trying to declutter and find some new storage solutions for storing all the kids’ winter gear in our small front entry.
I love apple recipes and this one looks really delicious! Looks pretty simple too. Right up my alley!
So elegant and pretty. I love it and mums are one of my favorite flowers. Your apple goody dessert looks yummy, comfort food for cool Fall days.
looks yummy!!! Thanks Sandy for always keeping hospitality “real and doable” we don’t have to set a fancy table but we do have to “open our homes & hearts” to let others in. We moved recently so I am trying to unpack and decorate. Yet go through and get rid of stuff as I unpack as well. Trying to only keep things we really love.
After two kids taking over most of the house. I really want to tackle my master bedroom and make that a relaxing space. Also, a warm apple dessert with ice cream is always my number one pick. Recipe looks amazing.
This looks SOOO good, Sandy!! PERFECT fall dish! And I love all of your table setting tips, so pretty and doable. Your deck looks so inviting for a fall gathering! Thank you for sharing my book, too!!! Blessed to have you as a friend and to have experienced your hospitality!
