LOW-FAT APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 4. In a separate bowl, stir together the whole egg, egg whites, buttermilk, and olive oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

CARAMEL APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Spray an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.
• Combine butter and brown sugar for topping in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter has melted and mixture begins to simmer gently, 3 to 4 minutes. Don't let the caramel mixture come to a boil; just allow it to bubble gently for a couple of minutes so it can thicken slightly.
• Pour into the prepared cake pan, then arrange apple slices all around the pan as desired. Place in the refrigerator so the topping can set while you prepare the cake.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light in color and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the bottom and sides as needed. Blend in eggs, incorporating slowly and scraping down the sides again, as needed. Mix in vanilla. Add in dry ingredients on low speed, blending just until combined; batter will be thick.
• Remove the cake pan from the refrigerator. Gently spread the thick batter over the topping, trying not to disturb the apples too much.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
• Place a plate over the top of the pan, then carefully invert it, allowing the cake to release from the pan onto the plate. Let cake cool completely to room temperature, 45 minutes to an hour; the top can be fairly soft and may not cut cleanly while it is still warm.

APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• FOR THE TOPPING: Butter bottom and sides of 9-inch round, 2-inch-deep nonstick cake pan; set aside. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Halve apples from pole to pole. Cut 2 apples into 1/4-inch-thick slices; set aside. Cut remaining 2 apples into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Heat butter in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When foaming subsides, add 1/2-inch-thick apple slices and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until apples begin to caramelize, 4 to 6 minutes. (Do not fully cook apples.) Add 1/4-inch-thick apple slices, brown sugar, and lemon juice; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and apples are coated, about 1 minute longer. Transfer apple mixture to prepared pan and lightly press into even layer. Set aside while preparing cake.
• FOR THE CAKE: Whisk flour, cornmeal (if using), baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl; set aside. Whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together in large bowl until thick and homogeneous, about 45 seconds. Slowly whisk in butter until combined. Add sour cream and vanilla; whisk until combined. Add flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly over fruit. Bake until cake is golden brown and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Cool pan on wire rack 20 minutes. Run paring knife around sides of cake to loosen. Place wire rack over cake pan. Holding rack tightly, invert cake pan and wire rack together; lift off cake pan. Place wire rack over baking sheet or large plate to catch any drips. If any fruit sticks to pan bottom, remove and position it on top of cake. Let cake cool 20 minutes (or longer to cool it completely), then transfer to serving platter, cut into pieces, and serve.

APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Melt four tablespoons of the butter in a heavy nine-inch skillet, preferable cast iron and one that does not have a nonstick surface. The skillet must also have a handle that will withstand oven heat. Add the apple slices and saute over high heat for about eight minutes, until the apples are tender, beginning to brown but still hold their shape.
• Remove the apples carefully, draining them. Set them aside. They should now be reduced to about two cups of apples. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet.
• Tip the skillet so the sides are coated with butter. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and stir over very low heat just until the sugar has dissolved. Spread the sugar mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the apple slices in a pattern over the brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the skillet. Any slices that do not fit into the pattern can be scattered on top of the rest -they will not show.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat egg yolks until thick, gradually adding the granulated sugar and beating till light and lemon colored. Stir in the cider or brandy.
• Sift the flour with the baking powder and fold into the yolk mixture. Beat the egg whites until they hold peaks but are still creamy-textured and fold them in.
• Spread the batter over the apples in the skillet. Bake 30 minutes. Unmold the cake onto a large platter and serve while still warm.
