Salted Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake by A Pinch of Yum

Last week, I made this cake for a dinner that my friends and I had. And I dare say it turned out quite well!

I’ve never done upside down cakes before so I wasn’t sure how this would turn out. But that caramel sauce, coupled with vanilla ice-cream was pretty delicious!

The original recipe says to bake for 45 minutes, but I prefer the cake to be a little more moist. So I will probably cut down the baking time to 35 minutes next time. The cake came out of the pan perfectly at 10 minutes though.

This is definitely one of those recipes that I was a little apprehensive about in the beginning, but worked out deliciously in the end.

As I type this post, I realize that I’ve never made Oreo brownies before I tried this recipe. How is that even possible?!

I love Oreo cookies on their own, with the traditional glass of cold milk. But this Oreo brownie combines the goodness of this cookie and chocolate for an absolutely decadent result. It was so delicious that I made it twice within the same week. It was that good.

Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully, especially when beating the egg whites to get the light fluffiness in the brownie.

It is as good as it looks. And addicting. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Apple Brownies by All Recipes

When I made this, I wanted to try something a little more “fall-ish”, different from my regular go-to chocolate desserts, and not too difficult.

The reviews on the website promptly noted that these have more of a cake texture, than a brownie texture which the name states. This was certainly true for me. But regardless of what you call it, this apple brownie-cake was moist and flavorful. Mine ended up being a little too moist for my liking, so I’ll probably cut back on the apples next time.

Overall, I loved how these turned out – a really great alternative when you need your sugar fix.
