Chocolate mousse and pumpkin sponge cake
Just the title of this dessert makes my mouth water! Dark Chocolate Mousse and Pumpkin Sponge Cake with Sour Cream Mousse and Candied Pumpkin Seeds… The combination of dark chocolate mousse, fluffy but intense, with sweet pumpkin cake and tangy sour cream mousse, topped off with crunchy, nutty candied pumpkin seeds? Spectacular!

Caramel apples
Autumn is apple season! I have precious memories of visiting rural Wisconsin orchards with my family as a young girl. We sampled apples and fresh cider, and brought home fruit by the bag. Some of our favorites were the small chestnut crabapples, which were crispy, sweet, and the perfect size for a lunchbox snack. Here is a beautiful caramel-covered apple with sprinkles. Yum!

Snickerdoodle dough balls
If I didn’t worry about possible salmonella in the raw eggs, I would never even bake these. This snickerdoodle recipe is the same one my mom used when I was little, and it is perfect! The dough is not too sweet, and the cinnamon-sugar coating on the outside is warm and homey. The dough balls are just the right size to pop into your mouth while Mom’s not looking, although the empty space left on the cookie sheet might give you away.
