Fresh Apple Upside-Down Cake from Karen/Riverrat

Prep: 20 min., Cook: 7 min., Bake: 30 min., Cool: 5 min. Tart apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, are best for this recipe. A small paring knife makes quick work of peeling the fruit.

3/4 cup butter, softened and divided
2 cups sugar, divided
3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cup toasted chopped pecans, divided
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup milk

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 cup sugar, and cook, stirring often, 2 minutes or until sugar is melted and begins to turn golden. Add apple slices, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until apples have softened slightly and juices are thickened and syrupy. Remove skillet from heat, and sprinkle apple mixture with 1/2 cup pecans. Set aside.
Beat remaining 1/2 cup butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

Stir together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon; add to butter mixture alternately with milk, beating at low speed just until blended, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup pecans. Spoon batter evenly over apple mixture in skillet.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in skillet 5 minutes; invert onto serving plate.

Due to Hong Kong's location on the southern coast of China, fresh live seafood is prominent in Cantonese cuisine. Many authentic restaurants maintain live seafood tanks. According to Cantonese cuisine, seafood has a repugnant odor so strong spices are added. The freshest seafood is odorless and, in Cantonese culinary arts, it is best cooked by steaming. For instance, in some recipes, only a small amount of soy sauce, ginger, and spring onion is added to steamed fish. According to Cantonese cuisine, the light seasoning is used only to bring out the natural sweetness of the seafood. However, most restaurants would gladly get rid of their older seafood inventory by offering dishes loaded with garlic and spices. As a rule of thumb in Cantonese dining, the spiciness of a dish is usually inversely proportional to the freshness of the ingredients.
