Apple Topping
- 1-2 medium apples {peeled and thinly sliced}
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup brown sugar {packed}
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Cake
- 1 box spice cake mix {13.25 ounces}
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup apple cider
- ½ cup apple sauce
Apple Topping
Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a medium bowl and whisk until the brown sugar is slightly dissolved. Spray the bundt pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray and pour mixture into the bottom of the pan.
Add sliced apples to the top of the butter and sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
Cake Batter
Combine cake mix, eggs, apple cider and apple sauce in a large bowl and mix according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan and on top of the apple topping. Be sure to spread into an even layer.
Bake in a 350° oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then invert your Apple Upside Down Bundt Cake onto a cake plate and cool completely. If apples stick to the bottom of the pan just use your fingers to remove them and place them onto the cake.
Store your Apple Upside Down Bundt Cake in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- If you don't have a spice cake mix then there is an easy substitution. A yellow cake mix with the addition of 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger and 1/4 teaspoon of either allspice or cloves works great.
