Upside Down Ginger Apple Coffee Cake (Clean Eating) image

This is a lovely, healthy recipe that is not overly sweet, but has enough flavor to be well-suited for either brunch or a light dessert. It is from the October 2011 issue of Clean Eating, but I have tweaked it a bit. The original calls for sucanat instead of the sugars and safflower oil instead of canola. Cooking time includes cooling time before inverting.
