How to Make Upside Down Double Apple Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Add the thinly sliced apples to the saucepan. Cook, stirring gently, until apples are softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup dried cranberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
- Arrange the softened apple slices over the cranberries in the pan, drizzling with the brown sugar sauce.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1/2 cup applesauce and 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter evenly over the apple and cranberry layer in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
