Deb's Mom's Apple Cake

In keeping with the "Has she been living under a rock?" theme of this evening, I present to you Smitten Kitchen, an incredible site for foodies written by a girl named Deb who lives in a tiny apartment in a former tenement building in Lower Manhattan. Not only is she an amazing cook, but she is equally talented at photography. I can't wait to try some of her delicious recipes. I think I'll begin by making the apple cake pictured above to take to a dinner party this weekend.

Cabbage and Mushroom Galette

Bourbon Peach Hand Pies: These remind me of Mexican empanadas, which are always sweet, unlike Argentine empanadas which are savory.
