INGREDIENTS

CAKE
Oil for brushing pan
1 red apple such as Gala ; Braeburn, or Fuji
1 pkg (15.25 oz) spice cake mix
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp butter
Coarse sea salt

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Brush the bottom and sides of the Rockcrok® Everyday Pan with oil using the Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush.

2 Core the apple using The Corer™. Cut the apple in half crosswise, then slice the apple halves using the Simple Slicer on the #3 setting. Cut slices in half.

3 Starting at the edges of the pan, carefully arrange the apple slices, slightly overlapping, in the bottom of the pan.

4 In a large bowl, whisk the cake mix and applesauce until blended. Spoon the batter over the apples and spread evenly.

5 Microwave, covered, on HIGH for 10 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the microwave, uncover, and let stand for 10 minutes.

6 Place the syrup in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until small bubbles form, stirring occasionally. Add the butter; stir until butter is melted. Bring the mixture to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

7 Remove from the heat; let cool 15-20 minutes or until thickened (similar to the consistency of honey).

8 Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter. Just before serving, drizzle with the caramel and sprinkle with salt.

To prepare in a conventional oven, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Follow steps 1-4 as directed. Bake on center rack for 32-35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and loosen the edges of the cake. Cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a platter. Prepare the sauce as directed while cake is baking; continue as directed.
