1 tablespoon butter
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
lemon, zested and juiced
1 pinch salt
3 eggs, beaten
3 ¼ pounds apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large, 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Combine 14 tablespoons butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt in a bowl. Alternate adding flour mixture and eggs to the creamed butter mixture. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet; dough is very sticky, so use a spatula to spread it onto the tray. Distribute sliced apples evenly on top and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with raisins.
