Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Pour caramel mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading evenly. Arrange apple slices over the caramel in a decorative pattern.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, cream together the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
  7. Pour batter over the apples in the cake pan, spreading evenly.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes
