From Donna Hay's "The Instant Cook". Very easy but looks like a cafe dessert! You can also make it with mangoes and replace the ground almonds with desiccated coconut. Or apricots and ground hazelnuts. I use my silicon large 6-muffins moulds, and they come out easy.

APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Apple Upside-Down Cake image

I discovered this recipe in a very old magazine that I found in my parent's attic. I've tweaked the recipe some to suit my family's and my own personal taste, and my family just goes crazy over it! This cake is a definite favorite at our house! *Really be sure to let the cake stand for a full minute after inverting it before you remove the pan or you will mess up the top of the cake. *the original recipe calls for light brown sugar, but I prefer the rich, caramely taste of the dark brown sugar with the apple and think it's just divine with this cake

Consider this another great reason to go apple-picking this September-or a fun and unexpected twist to serve on Rosh Hashanah, as it's Jewish custom to eat apple slices dipped in honey to ensure the new year will be fruitful and sweet. Those two ingredients define this upside-down dessert from Martha, and it's the perfect treat to enjoy on a crisp fall evening. This recipe comes from Martha Stewart's Fruit Desserts: 100+ Ways to Savor the Best of Every Season ($24.29, amazon.com).
