1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup butter melted and cooled
2 large eggs
¼ cup pure maple syrup

1 apple peeled and grated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Generously butter a 9 inch oven proof skillet or 9x2-inch round baking dish/cake pan.

Apples

Slice two apples into wedges and arrange the wedges in the bottom of your pan.
In a saucepan over medium-low, stir maple syrup, butter, brown sugar & cinnamon.
Let simmer 4 minutes.
Pour half this syrup over the apples. Save the rest for after the cake bakes.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon & salt.
In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar and the grated apple.
Pour apple mixture into flour and stir well.

Run a knife around the edges of the cake and carefully invert the warm cake onto a large plate.
Drizzle on the reserved syrup mixture, reheating if necessary.
