Steps to Prepare Upside-Down Caramel Apple Cake

    • Add the eggs one at a time and mix well. Add vanilla extract if desired.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Beat until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Assemble the Cake:

    • Pour the cake batter evenly over the apple layer in the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake the Cake:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Bake the cake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Flip:
