Lithuanian Apple Upside Down Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut butter into the flour mixture until small crumbs form.
• Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern on the baking dish. (I would us an 8x8 one.) Sprinkle with lemon juice.
• Cover apples evenly with flour mixture. (I would press lightly.) Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes.
• After it has cooled, invert onto a platter and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.
• VARIATION: Place baking dish on stove top with 1/2 cup sugar and a little butter. Cook until sugar becomes brown and caramelized. Then the apples are placed in it as described above, with the crumbs on top, and then baked. Makes for a nice caramelized look.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt 1/4 cup butter in 8-inch square baking pan. Add dark brown sugar and spices, mix well.
• Arrange apple rings over brown sugar mixture on bottom of pan, then sprinkle with lemon juice. Set pan aside.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in remaining 3 Tbs butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add milk and vanilla to the mixture, and then beat at a low speed with mixer until dry ingredients are moistened. Continue beating 2 minutes at medium speed. Blend in egg yolk.
• In a small bowl, beat egg white at high speed until stiff peaks form; gently fold into batter, then pour over apples in pan.

• Place flour, apple juice, white sugar, butter, eggs, milk, remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until completely smooth, 5 to 10 minutes; the longer you mix, the fluffier the cake will be.
• Pour batter over apples in the baking pan, making sure they are evenly covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Place a large serving dish over the cake and carefully flip over.

• In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
• Whisk in the eggs, vanilla and milk until fully incorporated.
• Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
• For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the brown sugar. Bring to a boil and continue to stir for 30 seconds, or until vigorously bubbling.
• Pour the sauce into the greased cake pan.
• Arrange the apples on top of the sauce in a circular pattern. Pour cake batter on top of apples and smooth the top of the batter.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake is done (the top will spring back when gently poked).
• Cool for 10-15 minutes and loosen the sides of the cake by running a butter knife around the edge.
• Place a plate upside down on top of the pan, then invert the pan, flipping the cake onto the plate.
• Garnish slices with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
