Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until combined. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared cake pan.
  3. Arrange the sliced apples over the caramel mixture in the pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together the softened 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the cake pan.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
  • Ensure your butter is at the correct temperature for creaming.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
