CARAMEL-APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Caramel-Apple Upside-Down Cake image

The best part about the classic pineapple upside-down cake is its gooey fruit topping, and this fresh take on the beloved dessert is no exception. We replaced canned pineapple with fresh apple slices whose tart flavor is the perfect balance to a sticky-sweet caramel sauce. We don't like to play favorites, but this topping plus a tender vanilla scratch cake equals an easy modern-day treat that may just outdo the original.

TOFFEE APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Toffee Apple Upside Down Cake image

From Blissful Brownies...the best recipe in the book. Note: It's best to have your ingredients, including eggs, butter and apples, at room temperature.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup light brown sugar (a generous 1/3 cup)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 apple, of your choosing unpeeled, cored and thinly sliced (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady)
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 apples, of your choosing partially peeled and coarsely grated (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady)
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped and lightly toasted (a few minutes over low heat in a saute pan is fine)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking dish or cake pan using butter and flour.
  • To create the topping: This mixuture goes into the baking dish first. Mix brown sugar and butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and warm over medium-low heat; stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Remove from heat and pour mixture into the bottom of the prepared 9x9-inch baking dish or cake pan. Arrange apple slices over the toffee mixture, in whatever pattern is pleasing to the eye. Set aside.
  • To make the cake: In a large mixing bowl and using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar at low to medium speed until mixture is smooth and blended. Gradually blend in eggs and beat until pale and fluffy.
  • In another medium-sized bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently by hand until batter is combined. Stir in grated apples and toasted walnuts until incorporated.
  • Pour batter over toffee apple topping already in the baking dish or cake pan. If necessary, carefully move batter around until evenly distributed over topping. Place baking dish into a preheated 350 degree F oven and bake for 30-40 minutes depending on the accuracy of your oven. Cake is done when it no longer jiggles, is firm, and top (which will become the bottom) turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center and near edges of cake should also come out clean.
  • When cake is done, remove from oven and allow to cool in baking dish for approximately 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of baking dish to loosen sides of cake. Place serving plate over the top of baking dish; holding the serving plate and baking dish firmly together, carefully invert until serving plate is on bottom and baking dish is resting on top. Gently lift baking dish from serving plate, jiggling if necessary, to loosen cake and leave it intact on the serving plate. At this point, the cake will be "upside down" with toffee apple topping showing.
  • For best results, serve cake warm or at room temperature, with a side of French vanilla ice cream or whipped topping, if desired. Cake is best served fresh in one sitting, but will keep covered at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Gently warm before re-serving.

APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Apple Upside Down Cake image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     brunch, one pot, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups apples, preferably Greening or Cortland, peeled, cored and cut into slices 1/2-inch thick
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider or apple brandy
3/4 cup sifted cake flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder

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:

  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet or a baking dish.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved before adding the apples.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet with apples. They should be in a single layer.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.

Conclusion:

This toffee apple upside-down cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples, buttery toffee sauce, and moist cake is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
