APPLE-HONEY UPSIDE-DOWN 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).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another medium bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup sugar, honey, eggs, melted butter, and milk. Whisk egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined.
- In a small, heavy saucepan over high heat, combine remaining 2/3 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons water. Cook, swirling pan occasionally (do not stir), until mixture is deep amber, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in room-temperature butter. Immediately pour into prepared pan.
- Decoratively arrange layers of apples over caramel filling. Spread batter evenly over apples. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched, 45 to 55 minutes. Loosen edges with a knife. Let stand 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples.
- Soak the fruit in whiskey: This step is optional, but it adds a delicious flavor to the cake. If you don't have whiskey, you can use apple cider or orange juice.
- Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give the cake a nice, crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking pan, but the cake may not be as crispy.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
Conclusion:
Upside-down apple cake with whiskey-soaked fruit is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a crispy crust and a boozy caramel sauce. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly indulgent treat.
