Upside Down Apple Cake
I promise that when I get my camera back, I will be posting more. I will get better. And stay tuned for good changes to Stephanie’s Kitchen…We’ve been working on a new and improved site and there will be a giveaway on the new reveal day. So stay tuned….
I haven’t been in the baking mood lately. Maybe it’s because I can’t take beautiful pictures (I know, I know, enough already about the camera). Don’t worry, I’m not going into that again! Or maybe it’s because my friend/next door neighbor/workout buddy/food taster has been bringing me new brownies to try out EVERYDAY. Maybe that’s why. Becky has a darling food blog, Satisfying My Sweet Tooth and this week is Brownie Week and there is a great giveaway! Don’t miss out on entering to win a great cookbook! And you have to check out a new brownie recipe everyday. You can trust my opinion that EVERY single recipe is amazing. I’ve tried them all. My favorite was the Peanut Butter Fudge Bars. That recipe is up today and you have to give them a try. Heaven!!! She gave me about 6 of them and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that I ate every last one of them. Did I feel any regret? No, of course not. Are you kidding? I just had to work out extra hard the next day.
Now onto my Apple Cake. This cake is delicious. I woke up this morning, went to the gym, came home, got the kids up, sent the hubby off to work, fed the kids, cleaned my house from top to bottom and THEN…decided I wanted to cook something sweet. I know, I’m crazy. And this was all before noon. I started from scratch with the cake and crossed my fingers that it would turn out. It was delicious! The brown sugared apples are amazing and so sweet. Below the apples is a soft, moist cake that is so perfect with the apples. You will be having seconds and maybe thirds with this one. I’m obsessed with apples right now. So if you are too, give this cake a try. Have a great week everyone!!!
Upside Down Apple Cake
recipe by Stephanie
For the apples:
4 tablespoons butter
3 medium Gala apples, sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
dash of ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
For the cake:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, cold
1 cup milk
1 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place 4 tablespoons butter in a 9 inch baking pan and place in oven until butter is melted. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, apple pie spices and nutmeg and mix into the butter. Add the sliced apples in rows on top of the brown sugar mixture. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the butter and mix with pastry blender or fingers until the butter is mixed well into the flour, and is now about the size of peas. Using an electric mixer, add the milk and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Beat on high for about 2 minutes. Pour batter over the apples and bake for about 35 minutes, or until center of the cake is set.
3. Cool in pan for about 5 minutes. Loosen the sides of the cake and invert onto a serving plate. Enjoy!!
