Steps:
- Melt four tablespoons of the butter in a heavy nine-inch skillet, preferable cast iron and one that does not have a nonstick surface. The skillet must also have a handle that will withstand oven heat. Add the apple slices and saute over high heat for about eight minutes, until the apples are tender, beginning to brown but still hold their shape.
- Remove the apples carefully, draining them. Set them aside. They should now be reduced to about two cups of apples. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet.
- Tip the skillet so the sides are coated with butter. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and stir over very low heat just until the sugar has dissolved. Spread the sugar mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the apple slices in a pattern over the brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the skillet. Any slices that do not fit into the pattern can be scattered on top of the rest -they will not show.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat egg yolks until thick, gradually adding the granulated sugar and beating till light and lemon colored. Stir in the cider or brandy.
- Sift the flour with the baking powder and fold into the yolk mixture. Beat the egg whites until they hold peaks but are still creamy-textured and fold them in.
- Spread the batter over the apples in the skillet. Bake 30 minutes. Unmold the cake onto a large platter and serve while still warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use firm, tart apples like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well when baked and provide a nice contrast to the sweet cake batter.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize nicely in the butter and sugar mixture.
- Use a cast-iron skillet: A cast-iron skillet provides even heat distribution and helps create a crispy crust on the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- Cook the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the cake is fully cooked through.
- Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This is the perfect way to enjoy this classic dessert.
Conclusion:
This super simple apple upside-down cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
