In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine the sugar, butter and shortening. Using an electric mixer, beat until fluffy; about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at at time and beat until well incorporated and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
The batter will be thick.
Carefully and slowly spread the batter evenly over the apple mixture in the skillet.
Bake for 55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Doesn't that look awesome?
Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
Run a knife around the outside edge of the skillet or baking dish.
Using a plate that fits over your skillet/baking dish, carefully invert the skillet so that the cake drops onto the plate.
Don't fret if some of the topping sticks to the pan. Just take a spoon or a spatula and patch it up! I don't spend one minute worrying about that.
Serve as is, or do as Sparky does. Liberally apply as much whipped cream as you can. Add more whipped cream as you deplete your supply!
Once again, thank you so much for stopping by today. I truly enjoy sharing my passion for life and cooking with you all.
Remember that old adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away?" Well, let's do our best to keep healthy by eating apples!
Until next time, journey on!
Hugs and much love from me,
Karen, TJG
