Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Stir together the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet until a mixture that looks like wet sand. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and light amber, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salt if making a salted caramel. Arrange the apricots, cut-side down, on top.
- Whisk the flour, pecans, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Beat together the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, beating until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter over the fruit and spread evenly. Bake until golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes and then invert onto a platter. Cool to room temperature before serving.
