Upside Down Apple Baby Cakes / Kek Epal Upside Down

 

This is a variation of the Apple Loaf Cake I've made before with the same recipe from Kak Yani. This time around, I did not cook the apples beforehand, bake them in a muffin pan and add apple slices and brown sugar at the bottom. I insist on using brown sugar to sprinkle at the bottom of the pan since it imparts more flavour once caramelised and for appearance sake too. The best part for me is the caramelised apples. Yum!

4. Mix in the plain yogurt.
5. Sift in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. 
6. Fold in the cubed apples and mix well. 
7. Grease a 12-hole muffin pan with butter generously. Sprinkle about a teaspoon (or more) of brown sugar in each hole of the muffin tray. Arrange the thinly sliced apples at the bottom and sides of the muffin hole. Then, spoon in the cake batter evenly in each hole.
