Vegan Eats and Treats

Apple Cinnamon Upside Down Cake 

With all the fall feelings in the air, this is a perfect recipe to try! Not only does it taste delicious, but it also makes your home smell amazing! Perfect desert to impress your family during the holidays!

Probably one of the best cakes vegan cakes I have created. That delicious caramelized apple topping can not get any better! It has the perfect amount of sweetness and the perfect amount of crunch with the pecans added.

I would pair this with a warm cup of chai tea, and a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. Recommend serving it warm to give you all the fall feels! Try this recipe out,  I promise you will not regret it!

Ingredients

1/2 cups brown sugar 

3Tbs dairy free butter 

1/2 tsp cinnamon 

2 apples of choice peeled and thinly sliced 

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1 1/2 cups dairy free milk 

2tsp vinegar of choice (I used seasoned rice vinegar. You can also use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar) 

2/3 cups melted coconut oil 

1 1/4 cups unsweetened apple sauce 

2tsp pure vanilla 

1 cup cane sugar 

2 1/4 heaping cups of unbleached flour 

1tsp baking powder 

1 1/2tsp baking soda 

1tsp cinnamon 

1/4tsp sea salt
more chopped pecans for topping after cooked 

Directions 

1. Pre heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 13x9 or 10in round pan. In a small sauce pan on medium heat combine brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. When butter is melted and ingredients are combined, about 2-3min. Pour onto bottom of pan. Line thinly sliced apple on top of brown sugar mix. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top, if you are adding them. 
2. In a medium bowl combine dairy free milk and vinegar. Let sit for 5 min. Add melted coconut oil, apple sauce, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk until combined. 
3. Add four, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into same bowl. Whisk, there will be small lumps and that’s okay. Do not over mix. 
4. Pour cake batter on top of brown sugar mixture/apples/pecans. Bake for 55-60 min for the round 10in pan. 30-35min for 13x9 pan. Or until a toothpick comes out clean after being poked in the middle of the cake. 
5. Let cool for 10min. If using 13x9 pan, I recommend serving it out of the pan. If using a round pan, run a butter knife along edges of cake, place serving plate on top of cooled cake and flip over. Removing the pan from the top after it is flipped. Serve warm with vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
