Cinnamon Cake with Caramelized Apples

Cinnamon Cake with Caramelized Apples
This upside-down cake is my go-to comfort dessert when I need something warm and satisfying. There's nothing better than flipping the pan to reveal tender cinnamon-spiced apples caramelized in butter and brown sugar topped with a moist tender cake. The real magic is that crackly sugar topping giving way to the cake layers underneath. It feels special enough for guests but simple enough for a Tuesday night treat. You'll want seconds before the plate's even empty.
