484 - Upside Down Apple Cake
(by Shirley McNevich)
1/3 cup butter
1 cup packed Domino's dark brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 medium apples (peeled, cored and sliced)--about 3 cups
1 - 18.25oz. box spice cake mix
1 stick melted butter
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup dark corn syrup (Kayro)
2 large eggs
1 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place your oven rack in the middle of the oven. Topping: melt the 1/3 cup butter in a 10" cast iron skillet (or any 10" skillet that's 2" deep) over low heat. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the brown sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon using a fork. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Arrange the apple slices over the butter/sugar mixture in the skillet. In a mixer, blend cake mix, 1 stick melted butter, buttermilk, dark corn syrup, eggs and 1 tsp. cinnamon--beat on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes longer until creamy. Pour the batter over the top of the apples in the skillet. Place the skillet in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes--bake until the cake rises high in the skillet (it will spring back when lightly pressed with your finger when it's done). Remove skillet from oven and run a sharp knife along the edges--carefully flip upside down on to a serving plate. Serve warm.
