Ingredients
10 servings
- •¾ cup butter, softened
- •1 ½ cups sugar
- •3 eggs
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •½ cup milk
- •1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- •1 teaspoon baking powder
- •¼ teaspoon salt
- •1 tablespoon cinnamon
- •4 apples, peeled and cut into ¼-inch (6.3mm) thick slices, recommended: granny smith or pink lady
- •1 cup butter, melted
- •1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch (23cm) cake pan.
- In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
- Whisk in the eggs, vanilla and milk until fully incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
- For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the brown sugar. Bring to a boil and continue to stir for 30 seconds, or until vigorously bubbling.
- Pour the sauce into the greased cake pan.
- Arrange the apples on top of the sauce in a circular pattern. Pour cake batter on top of apples and smooth the top of the batter.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake is done (the top will spring back when gently poked).
- Cool for 10-15 minutes and loosen the sides of the cake by running a butter knife around the edge.
- Place a plate upside down on top of the pan, then invert the pan, flipping the cake onto the plate.
- Garnish slices with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Enjoy!
