Apple-Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake image

We love the combination of classic fall fruits in this cake. I bake the apples on the bottom to keep them plump and moist, then flip the cake so they're on top. This is best served warm with vanilla ice cream, but we enjoy digging in any time of day. -Christina Yahraes, San Francisco, California

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor. If you're using sweeter apples, balance the flavor with more lemon juice or add a tart fruit like cranberries.
  • Don't overwork the batter: Over-mixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Canned pumpkin puree can be used in a pinch, but fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a richer flavor. To make fresh pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
  • Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: This cake is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. If you're serving it cold, let it come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.

This pumpkin apple cake is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
