Not only does this cake taste completely delicious, but it looks impressive too. Look at all of those apples that have perfectly caramelized on top! Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Cake has nice fall flavors in a tender cake. The fresh apples cooked into it are a big time bonus.
Three Steps to making an Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Cake:
Butter the pan and sprinkle brown sugar on top of the butter. Place slices of fresh apple in two concentric circles on top of the brown sugar.
- Spread the cake batter evenly on top of the apples.
How to flip an upside down cake:
Make sure the cake has cooled. Run a knife around the edge of the cake in the pan. Place a large plate or serving platter on top of the cake pan, and carefully invert the cake onto the platter. If any of the apples happen to get stuck in the pan, carefully move them to the top of the cake.
What kind of apples are best to use when baking apple cakes?
It’s always a good idea to combine a couple different kinds of apples when baking. That’ll give the cake the great flavors you’re looking for. If you prefer a more tart apple flavor, use a mix of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith. For a sweeter-tasting cake, try using Gala and/or Fuji.
Serving suggestions:
Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Cake is delicious all by itself. But it’s even more delicious topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream too. Even better- try salted caramel ice cream on top! Freshly whipped cream is another good topping for this cake.
How to make freshly whipped cream:
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat these ingredients until medium peaks form. At this point, it’ll be ready for spooning onto slices of cake for serving.
It’s time to make this beautiful Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Cake for your next fall gathering or as a dessert for a family dinner. Enjoy!
