Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine melted butter and brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly, then add ground ginger and mix well. Pour into the cake pan and arrange sliced apples on top.

- Pour the batter over the apples in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
