Tips:
- Use a heavy-duty skillet to make the butterscotch sauce. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
- If you don't have a heavy-duty skillet, you can make the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, but be careful not to let it burn.
- Use fresh apples for the best flavor. If you only have access to old apples, peel them and soak them in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
Conclusion:
This upside-down apple cake with butterscotch topping is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the butterscotch topping is rich and decadent. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
