Miniature Apple Upside-down Cakes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare apple topping; heat one tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add apples, brown sugar and cinnamon and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until apples are tender. Once cooked, divide apple mixture evenly among 12 wells of a non-stick muffin pan and prepare the cake batter.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ginger and mix well. Add melted butter, vanilla, eggs and yogurt to this mixture and mix until there are no visible lumps of flour remaining, being sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as you mix. Divide this mixture evenly among the wells of the muffin pan, placing the batter over the apples. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cakes are golden brown, or when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

3. Allow cakes to cool, and turnout muffin pan onto a baking sheet. Serve warm, and top with your favorite ice cream.
