Instructions

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick 9-inch skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until it bubbles and forms a caramel.
Arrange the sliced apples over the caramel in a single layer and cook for about 5 minutes to soften.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
Stir in the yogurt and milk, then gently fold in the dry ingredients just until combined.
Carefully spread the batter over the apple layer in the skillet and smooth the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Turn off the heat and let the cake rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Run a knife around the edges, invert the cake onto a serving plate, and serve warm.

Notes

Use firm, sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best results.

Add chopped nuts over the apples for extra texture.

Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can be made dairy-free using plant-based alternatives.
