Brown Sugar Apple Cake
"I made this cake for our Thanksgiving dinner, and it was absolutely delicious. It’s a very simple cake with big flavour coming from the brown sugar and apples. I have used a cake pan but you can easily use a deep glass pie dish to make this, since the cake is not very big. You will notice that when you pour the sugar syrup over the apples, it will look very watery (and it actually is), but don’t worry, when the cake bakes, the batter will absorb the syrup and will make a delicious moist cake on top, once you turn it upside down."

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
-
Preheat the oven at 350F.
-
Butter a 9 inch cake pan.
-
Arrange the apple chunks covering the bottom of the cake pan.
-
In a sauce pan, combine the brown sugar with 1/3 cup of water.
-
Bring to a hard boil, stirring until the brown sugar is all melted and pour on top of the apples and set aside (don’t worry if it looks watery, the cake batter will absorb it).

In a bowl, cream the butter with 3/4 cup of sugar.
