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.

UPSIDE-DOWN CARAMEL-APPLE MUFFINS



Upside-Down Caramel-Apple Muffins image

I've never been much of a muffin maker. If I'm going to bake, I'd prefer to make a whole cake. But there is one kind of muffin that I heartily embrace - an upside-down fruit muffin. Its small, individual size encourages the fruit to condense and caramelize as it bakes. Then, when you unmold the muffin, the fruit transforms into a glistening crown of an irresistible sticky topping.

Time 55m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 apples about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted optional
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, stir together the apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 8 tablespoons butter and pinch salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Distribute the apple slices among the muffin cups. Add walnuts, if using, on top of the apple slices.
  • To make the muffins, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 8 tablespoons butter, eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until smooth. Distribute the batter on top of the apples. Bake until the muffins are slightly puffed, about 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Allow the muffins to cool partly in the pan; turn onto a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

CARAMEL APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake image

This is truly a wonderful fall treat! It is warmly spiced, not overly sweet, and those tender, buttery caramel apples on top are a lovely touch. Serve this lightly warmed with vanilla ice cream, or call it a coffee cake and serve it for breakfast-your choice!

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Categories     Upside-Down Cake

Time 2h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup brown sugar
2 medium apples, cored and thinly sliced
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spray an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.
  • Combine butter and brown sugar for topping in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter has melted and mixture begins to simmer gently, 3 to 4 minutes. Don't let the caramel mixture come to a boil; just allow it to bubble gently for a couple of minutes so it can thicken slightly.
  • Pour into the prepared cake pan, then arrange apple slices all around the pan as desired. Place in the refrigerator so the topping can set while you prepare the cake.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light in color and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the bottom and sides as needed. Blend in eggs, incorporating slowly and scraping down the sides again, as needed. Mix in vanilla. Add in dry ingredients on low speed, blending just until combined; batter will be thick.
  • Remove the cake pan from the refrigerator. Gently spread the thick batter over the topping, trying not to disturb the apples too much.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
  • Place a plate over the top of the pan, then carefully invert it, allowing the cake to release from the pan onto the plate. Let cake cool completely to room temperature, 45 minutes to an hour; the top can be fairly soft and may not cut cleanly while it is still warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, choose firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize nicely.
  • Use a heavy skillet: A heavy skillet will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the apples from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the apples to the skillet, make sure they are in a single layer. If they are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the apples until they are caramelized: This will take about 10-12 minutes. Be patient and don't stir the apples too much, or they will break down.
  • Make the biscuit dough ahead of time: You can make the biscuit dough up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Use a large baking dish: You will need a large baking dish to accommodate all of the apples and biscuits.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: This should take about 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

These easy upside-down caramel apple biscuits are the perfect fall treat. They are made with simple ingredients and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The apples are caramelized to perfection and the biscuits are light and fluffy. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent dessert.
