How to Make Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Pancake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Refrigerate the batter for at least 125 minutes.
  6. While the batter chills, peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups).
  7. Toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
  8. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Toss the apple slices with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  11. Add the apple slices and cinnamon-sugar mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is caramelized and syrupy (about 5-7 minutes).
  12. Carefully transfer the caramelized apples to the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan.
  13. Pour any remaining syrup from the skillet over the apples.
  14. Pour the batter evenly over the apples.
  15. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  16. Let cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm with maple syrup (optional).
