Hi, Rhubarbarians!
The seasons they are-a-changin! Don’t you just love September, when there is still an abundance of summer produce but the fall goodies are coming around too? LOVE IT.
Have you checked out all of the farmers market September recipes yet?
Well… the oven has been turned back on! It’s still pretty warm here in the Inland Northwest, but the mornings are cooler and our AC hasn’t kicked on in about a week. So that oven is getting some serious love. ALL THE ROASTED FRUIT, PLEASE!
Roasted fall fruit with cinnamon: a simple, cozy favorite
It seems like each september we absolutely have to do these two things:
- roast some fruit and pretend it’s pie filling
- make cider
Last year we made a huge fall fruit bake and devoured every bite of in in like MINUTES! This year, we made a gorgeous, deep purple pan of roasted grapes and figs. With walnuts, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Oooooooh.
Roasting fruit really brings out the natural sweetness and takes the cozy factor to the max. Put on your flannel and your slippers, grab a cup of your fave tea, and take a big ole bite of this pie-but-not-pie goodness.
What to eat with roasted grapes and figs

Roasted grapes recipe with figs and walnuts
Warm roasted grapes recipe! Maple cinnamon roasted grapes with figs and walnuts is a cozy, vegan fall dish perfect with yogurt, ice cream, crostinis, or cheese boards.
- 2 large bunches of red or purple grapes*
- 8 medium fresh figs, stems removed and halved lengthwise
- 2 medium handfuls of whole, raw, unsalted walnuts
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the grapes, figs, and walnuts evenly in a roasting pan.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. The mixture will be fairly thick and very cinnamony.
Pour the mixture evenly over the fruit and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the grapes are very soft.
Stir together and serve warm. Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Just give a good stir before heating up.
*You can either roast the grapes on the vine, great for cheese plates and appetizer. Or remove the grapes from the vine before roasting if using as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.

Well this is exciting! Roasted fruit intrigues me. I’ve never tried roasted grapes, but my mouth is watering from those gorgeous photos. YUM. How refreshing to serve this alongside all the roasted veggies.

What a unique dish!! My friends were SO impressed by how beautiful it was and then again by how delicious it is! Thanks for another delicious recipe.

This sounds incredible! I have family visiting in a few weeks and was contemplating a fall cheese board. After seeing this, I’m thinking it needs to happen for sure. I’m obsessed with warming cinnamon flavors this time of year and have already started to bring on the fall vibes inside and outside of our home, despite the fact that it’s still 80-somethinbg degrees here. haha. But I think I started a trend, because after I busted out the fall wreath and mums, a few neighbor did the same 🙂

Roasted grapes and figs are amazing together! Highly recommend this recipe to share as an appetizer. Leftovers are delicious over Greek yogurt. I shared this with my in-laws and now they think I should open a bed and breakfast! lol
