Blueberry Apple Upside Down Cake
Blueberry Apple Upside Down Cake. An old fashioned comfort food dessert. Great taste never goes out of style.
This cake has a preparation time time of only about 15 minutes excluding baking time. The fact that it is best served warm, this blueberry apple upside down cake is another of those crunch-time dessert dishes that are really useful in your recipe repertoire.
It really is an old fashioned favourite comfort food dessert at our house and one that I have been making for many years. We've served it at many a dinners with guests over the years.
The kids especially love it when served with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream.
So easy to make with common pantry ingredients. It's also an ideal Autumn dessert when the apple and blueberry harvests are happening at the same time.
You can't get a better seasonal dessert than that. However, it's just as good using frozen berries.
Serve warm with a scoop of good vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
Firmer apples like Red delicious work well in this recipe. I like how the former apples hold their shape and don't get too mushy. Plenty of other kinds of apples will do equally well.

I saw "Prinkle evenly over apples:", and I thought that "prinkle" must be one of those unique NF words that the rest of the world has not caught onto yet. It's a good word!

@Margaret,
No it’s not one of our unique words, it’s a typo lol supposed to be “ sprinkle “
LOL! Thanks for the catch Margaret! Not as emabarrassing when I described one dish as "...a favourite at out house" instead of "our" house. Spell check does not cure all, hey?
Thanks for visiting!
Thank you so much for this tasty recipe. I tried it with a gluten free flour mix and it worked so well. Thank you again ^.^
Good to hear. Was it your own blend of gluten free flour or a brand?
Can you tell me how to sour the milk?
Very easy, just add a tbsp vinegar or lemon juice to it.
Looking forward to the arrival of your book.
Thanks, should be only a couple of weeks now.
What type of apple are best for baking?
I like the firmer apples that don't cook away to applesauce. Golden Delicious or Granny smith are good.
Can I use frozen blueberries in this recipe? I have a lot in the freezer that need to be used!
When do you turn the cake out, should it cool in pan first or do it when it comes out of oven, cake in oven now PLEASE RESPOND ASAP LOL thanks
