Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- Apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan.

Notes
For extra decadence, drizzle warm caramel sauce over the cake after inverting. Ensure the pan is well-greased to avoid sticking.
