Time 1h55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 granny smith apples
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons milk
whipped topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel, core and slice apples about 1/4 inch thick. Place in a mixture of water and lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Toast pecans on ungreased baking sheet in oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Check frequently to prevent burning.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
  • Melt butter in small, heavy saucepan. Add brown sugar and cook, stirring, just until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch closely because sugar burns easily.
  • Pour butter-sugar mixture into 9 inch round nonstick cake pan and spread to coat bottom. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top butter-sugar mixture. Drain and pat dry apples and place in circles, slightly overlapping, over pecans.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add sugar and continue beating until creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and continue beating until completely incorporated.
  • Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture and milk, alternating, in 3 additions. Continue to mix only until dry ingredients are completely mixed in, stopping to scrape sides if necessary.
  • Spoon batter over topping and spread carefully so batter is even.
  • Bake 55 minutes, or until tester comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully run spatula around edge of pan and let stand another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Invert pan over large plate and let stand 3 minutes. Carefully remove pan.
  • Serve warm with fresh whipped cream.

Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
⅓ cup margarine, melted
1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
6 cups Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a 9 inch deep-dish pie pan, combine pecans, brown sugar and margarine; spread into a single layer. Roll out dough, and place bottom crust over pecan mixture.
  • In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour into crust in pan. Top with second crust. Fold edges of crust over, and flute to seal edges. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Place pan on foil or cookie sheet during baking to guard against spillage. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender.
  • Cool pie in pan for 5 minutes. Place serving plate over pie, and flip to invert, being careful not to come in contact with molten sugar. If some of the nuts stick to the pan, remove them with a knife, and place on pie. Allow to cool for 1 hour.

Tips:

1. Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. 2. Slice the apples evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. 3. Don't skimp on the butter: The butter in the topping adds richness and flavor to the cake. 4. Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice helps to brighten the flavor of the cake. 5. Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. 6. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through. 7. Let the cake cool completely before inverting it: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking. 8. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: This will allow the flavors to develop.
