- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. At low speed, stir in the dry ingredients alternately with the apple juice until smooth. Using a spatula, fold in the apples, raisins and pecans. Spoon into the pan.
