The 5 Best Essential Oils for Fall

Fall Essential Oil Recipes

​We have compiled a collection of favorite fall essential oil recipes that can help you enjoy the season in full fall fashion. Although I really enjoy the summer months, fall holds a special place in my heart as well. The transition from summer to fall is beautiful in the great state of Pennsylvania! There is just something about the leaves changing color, the crisp air, and seemingly everything becomes pumpkin spice! 

For most of us, fall is typically full of events such as back to school, birthdays, football tailgates, "Turkey Day", and so much more! Although things may look different this year, this time of year is especially difficult to maintain a healthy well-balanced diet and activity plan! We can still enjoy the flavors of fall simply by using our vitality essential oils. 

I have been spending a little extra time in the kitchen lately, mixing up delicious recipes and adding different Young Living Vitality Essential Oils to boost the flavors brings me joy. In times of uncertainty, it's special dishes with warm flavors that bring our family comfort around the table. Extra time at home with family and healthier homemade treats, there's so much to be grateful for this time of year.  

What are Vitality Essential Oils you ask? These are essential oils that Young Living has created and labeled for the use of dietary supplements, so these are essential oils that if desired can be ingested. Please use safety and consult with your physician if you have any concerns. Be smart folks, do NOT just go out and start drinking straight from your essential oil bottles. These essential oils are potent! Also, I am talking only about Young Living Vitality Essential Oils, learn about the difference in quality of your oils!

Now that you know the top five essential oils for the fall seaseon, here are a few recipes to help put the fall vitality essential oils to use! 

Cinnamon Fruit Dip:
Slice up those freshly picked apples from the orchard and whip up some of this yummy dip. I love bringing this one into school for my colleagues special lunches that we have when celebrating birthdays or fall break! I know your family will gobble them all up too! Don’t be afraid to pair this dip with bananas and strawberries too!

Cinnamon Fruit Dip Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup Nut Butter of Choice
• 1/4 Cup Honey
• 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
• 1-2 Drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality

To make the dip, mix the honey and nut butter until they are combined well. Next, add in the yogurt and lastly the Cinnamon Bark Vitality Essential Oil and whisk it all together.


Infused Apple Slices:
Pick your favorite fall Vitality Essential Oil to infuse the apple slices for any type of occasion this fall. I like the blend of Thieves Vitality for my apple slices, perfectly paired with the fruit dip!

Infused Apple Slices Ingredients:

• 1 Drop Thieves Vitality
• 1  Apple

All you have to do is add 1 drop of your Vitality Essential Oil into a bowl of water containing thin sliced apples. When I make these, I use one drop for a few apples but if you have more then 3 apples I would add another drop. Let the apple slices soak for about 15 minutes.


Crock Pot Cinnamon Applesauce:
Fall and winter are the seasons for crock pot cooking,especially after a day outside enjoying the season. Let me help you figure out what to do with all those apples that you picked a the local farm, because it’s Fall in Pennsylvania so that what we do on Saturdays! Next apple season, bring those yummy apples home to make some delicious apple sauce! The recipe is super easy to make to use up the apples you pick! We love making this crock pot recipe because it leaves the house smelling amazing, plus it’s so simple!

Cinnamon Applesauce Ingredients:

• 9 Medium Apples
• 1/2 Cup Water
• 1-2 Drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality

First thing you want to do is chop up the fresh apples and add all the ingredients to the crock pot. I like to leave the skin on the apples because we prefer the applesauce to be a little thicker but that of course is for preference. I typically allow the applesauce to cook on low for about 2 hours then I simply mash the ingredients with a fork.


Spiced Pumpkin Creamer:
Nothing says fall than Pumpkin flavored coffee! If you know me, I am obsessed with my coffee and I love this simple recipe to use at home. All my pumpkin spice lovers this recipe is for you!

I have a few other tip for baking any fall recipe such as bread, cookies, or cakes.  In any recipe that I find on Pinterest, I always add a drop or two of Vitality Essential Oil to make it a little more yummy. I skip the unknown syrups, oils, extracts, sugars, flavors and use vitality oils and other better ingredients that we have in our pantry. 

Here are some baking ideas that we love in our house:

• Gingerbread and Gingerbread Cookies - simply add a drop Ginger Vitality or Cinnamon Bark Vitality
• Oatmeal Cookies- Add a drop of Cinnamon Bark Vitality
• Pancakes or Waffles - Add a drop of Cinnamon Bark Vitality
