Gingered Apple Upside-Down Cake

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min.+ cooling YIELD: 8 servings.
I like that this gingerbread delight is so deeply flavored and delicious. Served warm from the oven, a nice scoop of vanilla bean ice cream is definitely the icing on this cake. —Raymonde Bourgeois, Swastika, Ontario
