Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 eggs, beaten
• lemon, zested and juiced
• 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3.25 pounds apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large, 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon butter.

Step 3

Combine 14 tablespoons butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Mix flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt in a bowl. Alternate adding flour mixture and eggs to the creamed butter mixture. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet; dough is very sticky, so use a spatula to spread it onto the tray. Distribute sliced apples evenly on top and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with raisins.
