Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (4 ounces) soft unsalted butter
3/4 cup pecan halves
2 large tart apples, like Fuji, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter-pecan ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Use a little butter to grease a 10-inch glass pie plate. Arrange 1/4 cup pecan halves in a pattern in pie plate. Arrange apple slices over and around pecans, in a single layer in a pattern. Scatter any extra slices randomly on top.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, finely grind remaining pecan halves. Mix with flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk 1 cup sugar and remaining salt together in a skillet and mix with 1/3 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until mixture turns amber. Swirl pan from time to time if necessary. Immediately pour caramel over apples in pie pan.
  • With a mixer, cream remaining butter and remaining sugar together. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture. Spread batter over apples. Bake 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Cool.
  • Run a knife around edges and invert cake onto a serving dish, one that is heatproof if you want to warm cake before serving. Serve with ice cream.
