Description

This Apple Upside Down Cake recipe features a moist, fluffy cake topped with tender, caramelized apples. It’s an easy-to-make, comforting dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium-sized Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice three medium-sized apples into thin wedges (about ¼-inch thick). Set aside.
  2. Make the Caramel Base: Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until bubbly and smooth (about 3-5 minutes). Pour the caramel mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch round cake pan.
  3. Arrange the Apples: Layer the apple slices over the caramel mixture in the cake pan, covering it entirely.
  4. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ cup of milk, combine well, then gently fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed.
  5. Combine and Bake: Pour the cake batter evenly over the arranged apples in the cake pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • Use well-greased pans to prevent sticking.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter for a lighter texture.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To freeze, wrap individual slices tightly and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes before serving.
