We have truly hit party season, my favorite time of year! It’s always fun to bring out the old-standby appetizers we all love, while creating new ones in the process.

Chunky Apple Snack Cake
This cake. It was my Dad’s favorite. He had a Fall birthday and this is the dessert my Mom made him every year for his office celebration. It was also the batter my Mom could barely keep us kids away from….it was so good, even before it was baked. This was back in the day when no one cared about…
