HOW TO MAKE CARAMEL APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

• Step 1. Preheat oven to 350F, sprinkle with oil on a 9 “baking dish.
  Place the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Put on medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, pour into prepared baking dish.

• Step 2. Peel the apples and cut them into thin slices. Arrange the apples so that they completely cover the caramel.

• Step 3. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon and set aside.

• Step 4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with a mixer until smooth.

• Step 5. Add eggs at room temperature, one at a time, beating each time. Add vanilla and stir again.

• Step 6. Combine dry ingredients with dough, adding portions and alternating with milk. Start and finish with a flour mixture.

• Step 7. Pour the batter into a baking pan over the apples, spread with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes in a preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry and clean.

• Step 8. Remove from the oven, let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Then cover the cake with a large flat dish and quickly but gently turn the cake upside down.

RECIPE TIPS;

1. Measure flour with a measuring cup, or even better with a kitchen scale. Too much flour will dry out the cake. Be sure to sift the flour through a sieve.
2. If your cake has browned too quickly, cover it with a sheet of foil and continue baking.
3. Do not leave the cake for a long time in the baking dish after cooking. The caramel layer will harden and you simply cannot get the cake. If this does happen, place the cake pan in hot water or in the oven for a few minutes. The caramel will melt and you can turn the cake upside down.
4. All apples are different in size. Choose large ones and cut them into thin slices. Depending on the size of the apples and the thickness of the slices, you may need fewer or more than two apples.

Notes

• Melt the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture gently, stirring constantly. In fact, we are preparing caramel and you need to make sure that it does not burn. Be very careful not to get the hot caramel on your skin. Its boiling point is very high.

---

• Apples should be chosen from hard and sour varieties. These apples hold their shape better without turning into the puree, and the acid balances the overall sweetness of caramel.

---

• Use quality high-fat butter.

---

• Eggs should be at room temperature and should be added in turn, beating after each addition. Otherwise, your butter mixture may eliminate.

---

• After adding eggs, you do not need to beat the dough for too long, stop as soon as everything is mixed.
