French Apple Cake

My French Apple Cake recipe is a take on a classic upside down cake. Everyone knows that French cooking is the pinnacle of world cuisine. This apple cake recipe features French cooking techniques that elevate it from simplicity to decadence.

Start by making a simple caramel – the French way (using only sugar and water). Place this in the bottom of a springform baking pan and arrange apple slices on top. Make a traditional sponge using sugar, butter, eggs, flour, and add the secret ingredient: cream cheese! Bake in the oven and once it has cooled, invert the baking pan and turn it out. You’ll have a delicious sponge with caramelized apples on top!

To make French Apple Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make French Apple Cake?

Steps to make French Apple Cake

1	Heat the oven and prepare a pan	5
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease a 9 inch pan with cooking spray.
2	Make caramel	3
Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat without stirring. Swirl the saucepan often to prevent burning. When the caramel is a golden brown color, remove from the heat but continue swirling the mixture until it stops bubbling.
3	Pour caramel into the pan	5
Pour the caramel into the bottom of the baking pan. Place the apple slices on the caramel in a circular pattern. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top and set to one side.
4	Cream the butter and sugar	2
Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until fluffy and light.
5	Add cream cheese	2
Add the cream cheese and continue beating until smooth.
6	Add eggs	3
Add each egg one at a time. Beat well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as required.
7	Sift the flour and baking soda	3
Sift the flour and baking soda by sifting them into the butter mixture and beating until the batter just comes together.
8	Put the batter in the pan	2
Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out over the apples and caramel.
9	Bake	40
Bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
10	Leave to cool	30
Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
11	Serve
Serve the cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

This French Apple Cake is delicious and slightly unusual thanks to the addition of caramel. If you make this one, post some pics online! Just don’t forget to tag #CookMeRecipes.
