What Kind of Apples are best for Apple Upside Down Cake?

We used Granny Smith Apples in today's recipe. Golden delicious are a great option too. Golden Delicious apples are more sweet, while Granny Smith are a bit more tart. These apples are popular for baking because they are firm enough that they hold up nicely. Honeycrisp and Braeburn are good choices also.

Does this Apple Upside Down Cake need Refrigeration?

You can serve the apple upside down cake warm or cool. We prefer it warm! If not serving right away, it is best to chill it in a cake dome or airtight container and then remove from the refrigerator 2-3 of hours before serving. This will allow it time to warm and soften.

What does the Pudding do in this Recipe?

Our cake mix recipes often call for instant pudding. The vanilla pudding in today's recipe adds a soft texture to the cake and thickens the cake batter a bit which is helpful for keeping the diced apples suspended. It also adds another layer of flavor!
