1. **Preheat the oven**: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly butter a pie dish.
2. **Prepare the apples and raisins**: Peel, core and slice the apples. Sprinkle the apple slices and raisins evenly into the greased pan.
3. **Make the dough**:
– In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
– Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
– Stir in the vanilla extract.
– In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
– Mix until well combined.
4. **Assemble**: Pour the batter over the apples and raisins in the pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly over the fruit.
5. **Baking**: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
