Apple Upside-Down Cake Recipe: A Delicious Twist on a Classic

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups brown sugar, or more to taste
• 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 5 medium apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups unsweetened apple juice
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 eggs eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for baking.
2. Sprinkle brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon evenly across the base of a 10x15-inch baking pan. Arrange apple slices in a decorative layer on top.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, apple juice, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Longer mixing results in a fluffier cake.
4. Carefully pour the batter over the prepared apples, ensuring they are uniformly covered for even baking.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, typically 45 to 55 minutes. Allow the cake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before inverting. Place a large serving plate over the cake pan and carefully flip the cake.
6. To remove the cake from the pan, position a large serving dish over the pan and gently invert it.
