Instructions

Topping

¼ cup unsalted butter

½ cup light brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 large apples (peel, cored, and thinly sliced)

Cake

1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

⅔ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 inch cake pan well with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

To make the topping:

Add the butter and brown sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. 

Stir constantly until the mixture starts to boil. 

Remove from the heat and add the cinnamon.

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and evenly spread it on the bottom.

Top with the apple slices.

To make the cake:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. 

Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. 

Slowly add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. 

Add the vanilla and mix until fully combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternating with the milk. 

Mix until everything is just combined.

Pour the batter into the cake pan on top of the apples.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before inverting onto a large plate.
