​Apple dessert and autumn, they walk hand in hand. I couldn't imagine going through this time of the year, without making some kind of apple dessert couple times, at least.
The daylight hours are getting shorter, and it seems like everyone wants to pamper themselves a bit, brace themselves towards the dark, cold days of the year. Well, at least up here right now.
So this is an apple upside down cake I made last weekend. I could have used more apples, one row in the middle, but that's all I got, so this was it. It's not like I changed the plan just because one apple was rotten inside...
The caramelised sugar, mixed with cinnamon, and apples, with soft cake, freshly whipped cream, just heaven for your taste buds. And the scent that comes to your kitchen... Oh yeah, you know what I am talking about.
So here's the recipe for the Caramelised Apple Upside Down cake, I hope you enjoy it!
~ Cheers
