Apple Upside-down Gingerbread Cake image

Apple harvest and gingerbread a both fall in my mind. This is a great change up from traditional Pineapple Upside-down Cake. Serve with a big ol' dollop of real whipped cream and you will be in heaven.

I don't recommend this recipe. The cake was dense and flavorless.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some extra butter or oil to the batter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake to come out of the pan cleanly, but other than that, it was a great recipe.
