• Place your oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Prepare the topping, melting the 1/3 cup butter in a 10" cast iron skillet ((2" deep), over low heat.
• Remove skillet from heat and stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon (or apple pie spices) using a fork.
• Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet and arrange the apple slices over the butter/sugar mixture in the skillet.
• In a mixer, blend cake mix, 1 stick melted butter, sour cream, dark corn syrup, eggs and ground cinnamon.
• Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes longer until creamy.
• Pour the batter over the top of the apples in the skillet and then place the skillet in the oven and bake at 350ºF. for 40-45 minutes and bake until the cake rises high in the skillet, (it will spring back when lightly pressed with your finger when it's done).
• Remove skillet and cool cake in the pan for 5-10 minutes and then run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the sides of the pan and carefully flip upside down onto a serving plate.
• Cool completely for about 15 minutes and serve warm with vanilla ice cream if you like.
