Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F
Caramel
To make flipping out the cake easier once it is baked and hot, I like to parchment paper a 8” cake pan.
Arrange the peeled and cut apples on the bottom of the cake pan and set aside. You can do a pattern if you would like, or just throw them all at the bottom. This will be the top of the cake at the end.
3 Apples - peeled, cored and sliced
In a saucepan, add in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla and wait until it has melted and bubbly caramel.
In a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, combine the brown sugar, sugar and softened butter until it is creamed together.
115 Grams Butter, 100 Grams Sugar, 100 Grams Brown Sugar
Add in 2 eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
2 Eggs, 3 Grams Vanilla
Add in all the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
188 Grams Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 Gluten Free Flour, 5 Grams Baking Powder, 6 Grams Cinnamon, 1 Pinch Salt
Remove the batter from the stand mixer and hand fold in the milk. This way you can use caution to not over mix it. If that batter feels thick like a muffin batter, add a splash more milk.
15 Grams Milk
Once completed, pour the batter (it will be like a thick pancake batter) on top of the apples and caramel. Once the oven is preheated, place the cake into the oven for 50 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into it, if there are a couple of crumbs, you know it is completed.
Remove it from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes. Flip it onto a plate and remove the parchment paper. Serve and Enjoy!
