Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- For the apple topping: In a 9 to 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add sugar to the pan and stir around, then place apple slices, cut side down, in the pan. Don't pack them too tightly, but try not to leave overly large gaps. Allow this to cook over low/medium-low heat while you make the cake batter, about 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs. Add the sour cream and mix well.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir together then gradually add the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture until just combined. Gently stir in the chopped apple.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the batter over the top, then spread gently so the batter is evenly distributed. Place on a sheet tray lined with foil and bake for 25 -30 minutes, or until cake is golden brown and bubbly. Allow the cake to sit in skillet for five minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Don't worry if some of the topping isn't perfect---it'll taste perfect!
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix together the softened butter with 2 tablespoons of the flour to make a paste. In a 10-inch Bundt pan, paint on the flour and butter paste with a pastry brush until the pan is well coated.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan with non-stick baking spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, apple butter, melted butter and vanilla until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Whisk until just combined. Add the apples and pecans and fold in with a rubber spatula to incorporate. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 28 to 32 minutes.

Tips:
- To make sure your apple cake is moist and flavorful, use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. The brown sugar will add a rich, molasses-like flavor to the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a variety of apples in your cake. This will give the cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Peel and core the apples before adding them to the cake batter. This will help prevent the cake from becoming too mushy.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
