Yes, there’s pumpkin spice, but let’s be real — cinnamon is the OG fall spice. And even though we bet you’d be hard-pressed to find a kitchen without cinnamon in it in some form, it’s still a spice that doesn’t always get its due. Yes, it’s great in cinnamon rolls or sprinkled over oatmeal, but it’s also a great addition to savory dishes like stews and chili. For all the cinnamon-lovers out there, here are 15 recipes you won’t be able to resist.
