🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Caramel Apple Layer:
-
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
-
In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
Pour this caramel mixture into the bottom of the cake pan, then arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern over the caramel. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cake Batter:
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
-
Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and stir well.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined — don’t overmix.
4. Assemble & Bake:
-
Pour the cake batter gently over the apples, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool & Flip:
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
-
Run a knife around the edges, then carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Remove the parchment paper and admire the glossy, caramelized apple top!
