Source of Recipe

Betty Diamond Alessandra


Recipe Introduction

It is a nice change from the usual pineapple upside-down cake.

List of Ingredients

Melt butter (1 stick).
Add 1 cup of brown sugar, Mix. grease 2 pans. Put melted butter and sugar in bottom. On top of this put 1 cup of pecan halfs and 2 or 3 small apples,
cut into thin slices. Put dough on top of this, and bake in oven for 35 to 45 minutes. at 375 degrees.




Recipe

Cake dough: Melt 1 stick butter, add 1 cup sugar.
Add 2 eggs. Beat.
Add 2 cups flour,
1/2 cup to 1 cup milk,
2 Tablespoon vanilla,
1/4 teaspoon baking powder,
1/4 teaspoon salt.
Mix well. At this point Feenie used to plop the pans on the floor--I guess
to even out the dough--I do the same.
Bake in oven for atated time, eject, and enjoy.

N.B. : Feenie used Margarine--I use butter.
for ease, I use an ejector cake pan. Makes the damn thing comes out
so-o-o----o-much easier. Don't let it cool too long. Enjoy it right away
with a cup coffee. Sometimes I divide the dough in half, and put
some of the pecan-apple mixture in between. Thus, the order
would be: !/2 Butter, sugar, pecans & Apples. On top of this 1/2 of
the dough. The rest of the butter, sugar, pecans & Apples. last would
be the rest of the dough. When it comes out, of course the pecans,
brown sugar & Apples will be on top.
