"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Cake:
Soften butter, add sugar and eggs. Beat well. Add flavorings. Separately in a bowl mix flour, baking powder, and put into butter mixture. Blend altogether. Test dough's thickness by putting on a tablespoon and hold upside to see if it drops. If it doesn't fall off, add milk. If it is runny, add flour. Grease round 8" (1 ½" deep) or if doubling use a larger springform pan.

Apples:
Peel apples, cut into quarters and core. Slice like very thin orange segments, but not all the way through, spread like a fan on top of cake and make a design by placing on top of dough in pan, starting at outside in a circle ending up in the middle, cut side up.Bake at 350ºF for 40 minutes until golden.
