How to Make Caramel Apple Upside Down Cakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with paper liners.
- In each muffin cup, place 1 tablespoon (14g) melted butter, 1 tablespoon (14g) chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon (4g) packed light brown sugar.
- Arrange 4-6 thin apple slices (about 1/2 a medium apple per cake) on top of the brown sugar in each cup.
- In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix (Duncan Hines recommended), the required eggs and oil from the cake mix box, 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened applesauce, and 1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider or juice.
- Mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Pour about 1/3 cup (80ml) of batter over the apples in each muffin cup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert the cakes onto a wire rack or parchment-lined baking sheet to release them from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is the perfect complement!
