I've used the original Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe to make several different recipes. The apple is my favorite. Using a tart apple like Granny Smith is best with the brown sugar, gives it a sweet, tart flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package spice cake mix
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 large granny Smith apples, peeled, core and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

    Instructions:

    Preheat oven 325 degrees.

    Mix Cake according to directions only substitute the water for milk.

    For a richer cake, also substitute the oil for butter.

    Melt butter in 9 x 13 pan. Add brown sugar. Evenly distribute sugar in pan. Layer by slightly overlapping the apples slices and sprinkle with cinnamon.

    Pour batter over apples and bake according to cake directions.

    Serve with whipping cream.

    Cooking Wiser
    Slice the apples into 4 wedges and slice each wedge into 4 slices for a total of 16 slices or slice into 1/4 inch thick rings. Either way the apples will be on top when the cake is turned out of the pan for an attractive dessert.

    Decrease calories by omitting the whipped cream. A good substitute is frozen yogurt.

    Try this with pears, peaches, cherries, strawberries or even blueberries.
