How to Make Apple Pecan Raisin Upside Down Cake

  1. In a large oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches), combine 1/2 cup (113g) packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (50g) butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add 2 medium apples (about 1 pound), peeled, cored, and sliced, 1/2 cup (60g) pecan halves, and 1/2 cup (60g) raisins to the skillet. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and slightly caramelized.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter evenly over the apple mixture in the skillet.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the skillet for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving platter. The warm apple mixture will cascade beautifully over the top.
  10. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
