−1/2 Pound Cooking apples; peeled, cored, and sliced; such as Granny Smith  
−1/2 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon  
/4 Teaspoon Freshly−grated nutmeg  
Cup Sugar; plus  
Tablespoon Sugar  
−1/2 Sticks Butter; softened  
/2 Teaspoon Baking powder  
−1/2 Teaspoon Baking soda  
Teaspoon Salt  
1/4 Cup Flour  
Eggs  
Teaspoon Pure vanilla extract  
Cup Sour cream  
Cup Sweetened whipped cream  
1/2 Other Carbohydrates  
In a mixing bowl, toss the apples with 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon, 1/2  
teaspoon of the nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. In a large oven−proof  
skillet, combine 1/2 stick of the butter and 1/2 cup of the sugar, over  
medium−high heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture caramelized and  
becomes syrupy. Spread the apples evenly over the bottom of the pan. Remove  
from the heat. Using an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle, cream the  
remaining 1 1/2 cups of sugar and remaining stick of butter together. Sift  
the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg,  
baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour together. Add the eggs, vanilla  
and sour cream to the butter mixture. Beat until smooth. Add the sifted  
flour mixture, a little at a time. Beat until smooth. Pour the batter over  
the apples. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 40 minutes or until  
golden and the cake pulls away from the sides. Remove from the oven and cool  
for 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a platter and serve warm. Garnish with  
whipped cream. This recipe yields 12 servings.
