Hi Bold Bakers! My Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake is just bursting with flavors! I make it with my Signature Salted Caramel Sauce, which gives the cake a super deep caramel (almost like burnt sugar) flavor, and the salt takes it to a new level. Already have an account? The tender baked apples make the cake so juicy and the warm spices, cinnamon, and nutmeg make the cake so comforting. Once you flip the cake from the pan, all the juices from the baked apples seeps down into the cake. It’s a simple dessert that looks festive — no decorating needed — and perfect for an everyday treat with your afternoon tea. Just look at how beautiful the baked apples look on top. You must try this recipe this fall!
What Is Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake?
We call this type of cake an “upside-down” cake because the toppings of the cake, in our case apples and caramel, are placed at the bottom of your baking pan, and the cake batter is poured over it. Simply put, it’s upside-down. Once baked, you flip the cake out of the pan onto your serving plate, and now it is right-side-up, with all those lovely baked apples on top.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake
My Signature Salted Caramel Sauce is so quick and easy! But of course, you can use a good quality store-bought caramel sauce too. Be sure to carefully pour the batter over the apples so they stay on the bottom for baking. Make sure you wait just 10 minutes before inverting the cake. If you wait too long, the caramel might make the cake too sticky, and it will be difficult to release. Try this recipe with plums, peaches, or even bananas!
How To Store Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake
Any leftover upside-down cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, the cake is usually best served the day is made, so don’t feel guilty if you grab more than one slice!
