This fall infused water is crisp, lightly sweet, and full of seasonal flavor.
Made with apple, pear, plum, and cinnamon, it’s an easy way to stay hydrated while enjoying all the cozy autumn vibes. Every sip tastes like fall without any added sugar or artificial ingredients.
Anytime we entertain, we always have a pitcher of this or my Lime Water with Mint to share.
Reasons You’ll Want to Make This
When it comes to fall flavored water recipes, this one is as simple as it gets. It takes just a few minutes to slice the fruit and toss everything into a pitcher. The result is refreshing, naturally flavored water that’s perfect for sipping all day.
I love keeping a jar of this in the fridge during the cooler months. The flavor is subtle, but it feels special, like you’ve taken your usual water and given it a fall makeover. Plus, it looks gorgeous on the table, especially if you’re hosting brunch or a holiday get-together.
What You’ll Need To Make It
The full list of ingredients is in the recipe card below, but here’s the quick rundown.
You’ll need one apple, one pear, one plum, and a couple of cinnamon sticks. Thinly slicing the fruit helps infuse the water faster and releases more flavor. I usually use Honeycrisp apples and D’Anjou pears for the perfect mix of sweet and tart.
How to Make Autumn Infused Water
Add the sliced fruit and cinnamon sticks to a large pitcher. Fill it with cold water and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors develop.
Keep refilling the pitcher throughout the day, and the fruit will continue to gently flavor the water. It’s the ultimate autumn infused water to keep you hydrated and happy.
Substitutions and Variations
You can easily customize this fall spa water to your liking.
- Add orange slices or cranberries for extra color and flavor.
- Swap cinnamon sticks for cloves, nutmeg, or star anise.
- Use sparkling water for a fizzy version of fall fruit infused water.
- Add a touch of lemon juice if you want more brightness.
Learn From Me
I started making fall infused water recipes as a way to get my family (especially the kids) to drink more water. Now it’s something we all look forward to every September.
The key is slicing the fruit thin and keeping it chilled because it tastes better and lasts longer. And the best part? You can keep topping off the pitcher for two or three days before refreshing the ingredients.

What can you use in place of cinnamon? I have familt that is allergic.
You can always leave it out or replace with other fall spices like nutmeg, all spice, etc.
Is this a spring or fall drink
I like to drink it in the fall. -Krissy
I love flavored waters and it’s so much better to make your own than purchase them at the store. It’s how I get myself to drink more water as well. Love your autumn combo and can see why the kids like bringing it to school. My daughter does the same with her son so that he learns early how to drink the proper amount of water.
I am an infused water fanatic and this looks like a flavor combo I must try! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing! Are there any varieties of apple or pears that wortk well together?
It’s completely a matter of taste. I prefer sweet, juicy and a wee bit tart. Pink lady or honeycrisp apples and d’anjou pears are my preference.
Have you ever used frozen berries to make infused water?
I haven’t, but that would still work great!
How do the plums hold up overnight? I was thinking about bringing this to a party and I didn’t want it to look yucky. Thanks
With a squeeze of lemon, I think they should do just fine as long as it’s refrigerated.
This water sounds delicious! I love all-things apple cinnamon. It’s almost Spring but I’ll have to make this anyway!
Such a simple idea and I love it! I too do not drink enough water. I try and do well sometimes but then I get bored. This might be the perfect answer to drinking more water. My sister-n-law always puts lemons or cucumber in her water. That didn’t really appeal to me. This does. Thanks!
Hi! Could you let me know what apples you add, is it honey crisp, fugi?
Thanks!
Always honeycrisp! -Krissy
