Here is the recipe which is best cooked in a glass pan:
Apple top:
4T butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 apples peeled & sliced
Melt butter, add sugar and spread in bottom of 8×9 pan. Arrange apples on top.
Batter:
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup molasses
1 T melted butter
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
Mix all together. Pour on top of apple mixture. Bake 35-45 minutes at 350′. Cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate and serve topped with maple cream. Best served warm!
Maple cream is very easy. Mix 1 cup of whipped cream with 1/4 cup of maple syrup. As Jen would tell you, the maple cream is divine and so simple you might be tempted to skip it. But don’t do that! Don’t worry about calories. The maple syrup balances out any calories that might be found in the whipped cream.
