Description

A warm, buttery cake topped with glossy caramel and tender apple slices, perfect for fall gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Peel and slice the apples.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared pan, and arrange the apple slices over it.
  3. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients, pour batter over apples.
  4. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel. For best texture, let the cake rest a minute after inverting.
