Upside-Down Apple Gingerbread image

I am making an effort to get rid of stacks and stacks of food magazines by going through and just grabbing the recipes I want out of them - this one was one from 2 years back - it's an Emeril that was published in a Woman's Day

Time 2h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup butter (one-half stick)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large baking apples
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup shortening
1 large egg
unsulphured molasses
1/2 cup milk
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup hot water
heavy cream, whipped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar uniformly over the bottom. Peel, core, and cut apples into one-half inch crosswise slices. Arrange them in the bottom of the skillet, overlapping the edges.
  • Combine the next 7 ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Beat in the egg. Stir in the molasses. Add the milk alternately with the flour. Beat in the hot water.
  • Spoon the batter over the apples and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate, but do not remove the pan for 5 minutes. This permits sugar and butter topping to run down over cake. Serve with the whipped cream, if desired.
  • Makes one 9-inch square gingerbread.

This cake is a keeper! It's moist, flavorful, and the apples are perfectly caramelized. I will definitely be making this again.
