Forget the pineapple and hello apple season! T.W.O. decided to mix up the traditional Pineapple Upside-Down cake and make an Apple Upside-Down cake. It’s literally a burst of Fall in your mouth!  Caramelized apples, cinnamon and nutmeg….what is more Fall than that?  (Well maybe pumpkin!) Not only is the apple topping delicious, the moist, fluffy cake is also sumptuous and can be eaten by itself.   Add a scoop of ice cream and you have yourselfthe perfect dessert!
