Apple Upside-Down Cake

12 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, or more to taste
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 5 medium apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2
    Cover the bottom of a 10x15-inch baking pan with brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Layer apple slices on top.
  3. 3
    Place flour, apple juice, white sugar, butter, eggs, milk, remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until completely smooth, 5 to 10 minutes; the longer you mix, the fluffier the cake will be.
  4. 4
    Pour batter over apples in the baking pan, making sure they are evenly covered.
  5. 5
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Place a large serving dish over the cake and carefully flip over.
