How to prepare Apple Pie
To begin, cream the butter with the sugar and the egg until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, vanilla, the previously peeled and chopped apples, the pecans, and the golden raisins.
Carefully incorporate this dry mixture into the creamy mixture, mixing well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Finally, pour the batter into a round cake pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes or until the cake is fully cooked and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and without any wet batter.
