  • Spread the apple mixture into a thin layer in the bottom of the prepared cake pan and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

  • Add the buttermilk and vanilla and whisk until incorporated.

  • Add the dry ingredients in two installments, whisking until blended.

  • Carefully pour the batter over the apple layer.

  • Return the pan to the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

  • Once the cake has cooled for 20 minutes, flip it out of the cake pan and onto a cooling rack.

  • On an 8 inch cake board or serving plate, place the pecan pie.

  • Spread a ½ inch layer of frosting over the top of the pie.

  • Place the pumpkin pie on top and spread a ½ inch of frosting on top.

  • Place the cake, apple side up, on top of the frosting.

  • With a serrated knife, trim the sides of the cake to be flush with the pies.

  • Spread a ½ inch layer of frosting around the entire cake, covering the sides.

  • Leave the top of the cake unfrosted so you can see the apples.
