¼ cup Molasses

2 Tart Apples, medium - peeled and thinly sliced

Gingerbread

½ cup Unsalted Butter, softened

½ cup Sugar, granulated

1 Egg, room temperature

1 cup Molasses

2 ½ cups Flour, all-purpose

1 ½ tsp Baking Soda

1 tsp Ground Ginger

½ tsp Salt

½ tsp Ground Cloves

1 cup Hot Water

Warmed Applesauce (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°. Place butter in a 12-in. cast-iron or ovenproof skillet. Place in oven until butter is melted, 4-5 minutes; carefully swirl to coat evenly. Sprinkle with pecans and brown sugar; drizzle with molasses. Arrange apple slices in a single layer over sugar, cut side down.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, then molasses. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, ginger, salt and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in hot water.

Pour over apples. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm with applesauce, if desired.
