Instructions:
-
Cream the butter, sugar, and the egg: In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar, then add the egg. Cream the mixture until it becomes smooth and fluffy.
-
Prepare the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Ensure a thorough incorporation of these dry ingredients.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients with fruits and nuts: Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Stir in the chopped apples, pecans, and golden raisins. Mix everything well until you achieve a uniform batter.
-
Bake to perfection: Pour the prepared batter into a round pie dish, ensuring an even distribution. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Keep a close eye, and insert a toothpick near the center to check for doneness – it should come out clean, not doughy.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the Apple Pie Cake is baked to golden perfection, allow it to cool slightly before slicing. This delectable dessert is best enjoyed warm, either on its own or paired with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
