2 Tbsps butter
2 to 3 Tbsps coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 Tbsp whipping cream
Dash salt
1 medium cooking apple (Rome, Granny Smith, etc,)
Baking Mix Cake Batter (below)
Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

1 egg
1 Tbsp oil
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup superfine or granulated sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk biscuit mix (Bisquick or eqv.)

Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter in an 8-inch ovenproof skillet
or cake pan of equal size. Briefly saute walnut in butter over
medium heat. Remove from heat. Blend in brown sugar, 1 Tbsp whipping
cream, cinnamon, and salt. Spread evenly over bottom of skillet.
Peel, quarter and core apple. Cut each quarter into 4 or 5 slices
(lengthwise).  Arrange slices in a spiral on top of nut mixture,
with 2 to 4 slices in center.  Press slices into nut mixture.

springs back when lightly touched in center. Cool in pan 10 minutes.
Loosen sides with a knife. Place an 8- or 9-inch plate upsidedown
over pan and invert cake onto plate. Rearrange apples and glaze if
necessary. Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice
cream.
