2 oranges
5 small, firm, red baking apples, such as Jonathan (1 1/4 lbs)
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon plus spice blend, divided

1 pkg (18.25 oz) yellow cake mix
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
Thawed, frozen whipped topping (optional)
Additional pecan halves (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. Zest one orange using short strokes; set aside. Score long strips from remaining orange and form into curls for garnish; set aside. Cut one slice from the center of the scored orange; set aside. Juice oranges to measure 1/4 cup juice; set aside.

Cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until apples are slightly softened. Using a spoon, gently press down and fan out apple slices to cover bottom of skillet.
Coarsely chop pecans. Combine pecans, cake mix and remaining spice blend. Add reserved orange juice and zest, water, oil and eggs; beat until smooth. Gently pour batter over apples in skillet, spreading evenly.
Bake, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Carefully remove to cooling rack. Loosen edges of cake and carefully invert cake onto heat-proof serving plate. Garnish with whipped topping, orange curls and pecan halves, if desired. Serve.
