Carmelized Apple Cake

I found this recipe a few years ago in Family Circle. This time of year we are obsessed with all things apple. This is a winner in our book.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter salted (divided)
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 large granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4 inch slices

1. Heat oven to 375. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
2. With a mixer beat on high speed 1/2 cup butter for one minute until creamy. Add sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs, vanilla and beat until blended. Reduce speed to low while gradually adding in flour, then sour cream.
4. Melt remaining butter in a 10 inch skillet (oven proof). Add brown sugar and stir for 2 minutes. Add apple slices to the pan and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for about 10 minutes or until tender. Let sit for 5 minutes. Spoon batter over the apples and spread to the edge of the pan. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a rack for 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and slide onto a plate.


****A cast iron skillet work wonderfully for this recipe. Yummy and so rustic. :)
