APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
3 to 4 small to medium apples, about 1 pound
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
Generously grease a 9" round cake pan. Peel, core and slice the apples, stir them with the cinnamon and 1 tbsp sugar. Spread them evenly in the bottom of the pan (mine were about an inch deep). Mix the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, egg and melted butter, and stir in the nuts. The batter will be stiff. Spread over the apples, and bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream warm or cool.
Be prepared to have none left. No, I didn't get to try this, because it was just that good.

That cake looks absolutely delicious! Now that I'm no longer on a diet, I can actually make stuff like that. Well, only if I am taking it to a potluck dinner.
I've made that cake before and it is GOOD! Thanks for reminding me about it - I'm going to the apple orchard this weekend so I'll have the apples. ~ Robyn
It certainly makes a dramatic presentation,especially on that beautiful stand of yours! I like this A LOT because it doesn't require rolling out pie dough! My hubby would skip chewing this and simply inhale it until it was gone!
I've never made an upside down cake before. This looks really delicious. My husband would be thrilled if I made it for him.
I love an upside down cake, I really need to start baking more and why not you put the recipes right here!
