Here you’ll find step-by-step photos showing how to make this recipe. The full recipe, including instructions, is given below.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 2: Add ¼ cup butter to a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Place in the oven for a few minutes until the butter has melted.

Step 3: Sprinkle brown sugar over the melted butter in the bottom of the pan.

Step 4: Cut the apples into half circles about ¼-inch thick* (no need to peel!) and arrange them in concentric circles on top of the brown sugar, overlapping them slightly until they fill the entire bottom of the pan. Set aside.

Step 5: Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Then, add milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Whisk again until just combined.

Step 6: Pour batter over apple slices, smoothing from edge to edge, as needed.

Step 7: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8: Run a knife around the edge of the pan. Let cool to room temperature before flipping onto a serving plate.
