Time 3h15m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 lb Granny Smith apples (about 4 large), peeled, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
1 cup butter
1 box (16 oz) powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Cool.
  • Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In large bowl, stir together melted butter, sugar, eggs and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla until blended. Stir in flour mixture just until blended. Stir in apples and 1 cup of the toasted pecans. (Batter will be very thick, similar to cookie dough.) Spread batter in pan.
  • Bake 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack.
  • Meanwhile, in 1-quart heavy saucepan, cook 1 cup butter over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until butter begins to turn golden brown. Immediately remove from heat and pour into small bowl. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour or until butter begins to solidify.
  • Beat browned butter with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar alternately with milk, beating on low speed until blended. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Frost cake. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup toasted pecans. Store covered in refrigerator.
