Recipe to impress a Spanish chef??
Alright, I need some thoughts.
I'm in rough shape and a wonderful, wonderful friend of ours brought me over some cream of pumpkin soup. I'd really like to give him something back in appreciation. "Problem" is, he's a cook - and a darn good one at that. So, I'd like to impress if I can.
I was thinking about making an apple pie since I'm getting quite good at them. But, I figured I'd ask you all to see if you could suggest a (stereo)typical American dessert/snack he may have never had before.

Apple pie is always good
Banana bread
Pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread would be in the season
Popcorn balls are fun. Can vary the flavors so many ways, are yummy, and don't require crazy cooking.
Peanut butter cookies
I want to suggest Puppy Chow but don't know if you can get Chex, Crispex, or something similar.
I posted an amazing recipe for cinnamon rolls the other week if you've got brown sugar.

Otherwise I'd also go with the apple pie if you've got it down. Here in Germany apple pie (different from the American version, but the same basic concept) is pretty popular, so I try to avoid making American apple pie and go for things that are a little different.
Peanut butter cookies (no one knows what to do with peanut butter in Europe!)
Pumpkin pie (not sure if you said pumpkin's not a possibility?)
Gooey Butter Cake (this is totally from my hometown of St.Louis, but its becoming popular outside of the STL, its FABULOUS)
I second not making apple pie, its pretty common to eat here...tarte aux pommes, not exactly the same thing but similar enough.
I ended up making an apple crisp. I still feel pretty rough so it was the easiest thing on the list. Just sent DH up with the plate.
