APPLE-PUMPKIN UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Apple-Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake image

We love the combination of classic fall fruits in this cake. I bake the apples on the bottom to keep them plump and moist, then flip the cake so they're on top. This is best served warm with vanilla ice cream, but we enjoy digging in any time of day. -Christina Yahraes, San Francisco, California
