Ingredients

1 jar (14 ounces) spiced apple rings
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Whipped cream, optional

Directions

Drain the apple rings, reserving 1 tablespoon syrup; set apple rings aside. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter; stir in brown sugar and reserved syrup until smooth. Spread evenly in a greased 9-in. round baking pan; sprinkle with almonds. Top with apple rings; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the egg, milk, vanilla and remaining butter. Combine flour, sugar and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture until well blended.
Spoon over apple rings. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
