  • Carefully spread the cake batter over the top of the apples in the baking pan.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for around 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges.
  • Carefully invert the pan onto a serving dish and allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
