Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake – A sweet and moist cake that’s perfect for Fall!This past weekend I picked up a bag of apples as usual with plans to make an apple bundt cake.So I changed my mind and decided to make an upside-down cake with apples instead.It turned out to be a great decision, I was beyond excited when I pulled this out of the oven! I know I say this with a lot of my recipes, but this one isn’t too difficult. It does take a little time, but it’s definitely worth it if you love apples as much as I do.


INGREDIENTS Topping:

  • 2tbsp+2tsp unsalted butter

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 3 large apples peel, cored, and thinly sliced

Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

  • 6tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1-2 large eggs room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk



INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Spray a 9-inch cake pan well with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

To make the topping:

  • Add the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir well until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat, pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan, and evenly spread it on the bottom.

  • Arrange the apple slices in an even layer on top. Set aside.

To make the cake:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder,

Set aside.

  • In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Slowly add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Add the vanilla and mix until fully combined.

  • Alternate mixing the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients, starting with the flour and ending with the flour.

  • Pour the batter into the cake pan on top of the sliced apples.

  • Bake at 180°c degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before flipping over onto a large plate.
