Ingredients

3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
4 large apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/2 cup raisins, steeped in boiling water & well drained

Directions

1

Butter and flour a 9-inch, 3-inch-deep springform pan. Heat oven to 350F. Dice 1/2 cup of butter, and let it come to room temperature.
2

In a large saute pan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of the butter, then saute the apples over medium-high heat until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir the honey and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon into the apples and cook until the liquids are thick and bubbly.
3

In a stand mixer, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt and the remaining spices and mix. Toss in the diced butter and mix until the butter is broken into pea-sized pieces. Reserve 2/3 cup of the mixture for the streusel topping. Add the baking soda to the mixing bowl and mix; then add the pumpkin, sour cream, and eggs, beating until smooth. Stir in the raisins. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
4

Spread the sauteed apples over the batter, then sprinkle the streusel on top. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with no batter clinging to it. May be served warm or cooled to room temperature. Best served the same day.
