Servings: persons

¼ cup butter, melted
4 cups tart apples, peeled & sliced
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons dark rum
½ cup raisins
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Butter a six-cup cakepan or casserole dish with a little of the melted butter.
3
Mix apples, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, rum and raisins together and spread in a pan.
4
Sift flours, baking powder and salt and set aside.
5
Beat eggs until thick.
6
Gradually beat in all but one tablespoon of the sugar.
7
Stir in the dry ingredients, mixing only until they are combined.
8
Spread batter over apples in the baking dish.
9
Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the batter and sprinkle with reserved tablespoon of sugar.
10
Bake about 45 minutes, until puffed and browned.
11
As they cook, the apples may sputter a bit so it is a good idea to place sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of the oven to catch the drippings.
12
And, as with almost any apple dessert, some ice cream or whipped cream is delicious on the side.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
