APPLE-PUMPKIN UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
We love the combination of classic fall fruits in this cake. I bake the apples on the bottom to keep them plump and moist, then flip the cake so they're on top. This is best served warm with vanilla ice cream, but we enjoy digging in any time of day. -Christina Yahraes, San Francisco, California

- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If possible, use organic or locally sourced ingredients.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Preheat the Oven: Always preheat the oven before baking. This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan is the best choice for this cake, as it will allow you to easily remove the cake from the pan.
