Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake

Ingredients

Topping
1/4 cup (60 grams) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large apples - peeled, cored, thinly sliced

Cake
1 and 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, soft at room temp
2/3 cup (130 grams) granulated sugar

1/2 cup (120 ml) milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch cake pan well with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

3. Arrange the apple slices in an even layer on top of the topping.

4.  Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. 

5.  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 fulling combined.

6. Alternate mixing the dry ingredients and milk in the wet ingredients, starting with the flour and ending with the flour.

7. Pour the batter into the cake pan on top of the sliced apples.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean.

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