CARAMEL:

Preheat oven to 300Â°.
In an oven proof skillet, simmer the sugar, water, lemon juice and salt over medium heat.
Cook and whisk until the mixture is golden, 6-8 mintues.
Remove from heat, stir in cream, butter, rum and vanilla.
Allow to cool slightly.
Place quartered apples into the caramel and set aside.

CAKE:

Melt one stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook until the butter starts to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Set aside to cool.
Whisk together the sugar, grated apple, browned butter, eggs and zest in a medium bowl.
Add flour, salt, baking powder, spices and whisk just until blended.
Place the skillet with the apples on a baking sheet to help catch any drippings when baked.
Spread the batter over the apples.
Place all in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes and then invert the cake out onto a platter.

RAISIN SAUCE:

Simmer apple juice, raisins, sugar, spices, lemon juice and salt in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Combine the rum and cornstarch in a dish, then whisk it into the simmering sauce.
Cook until thickened, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and add butter.
Stir until melted.
Serve over warm cake.
