APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Remove the apples carefully, draining them. Set them aside. They should now be reduced to about two cups of apples. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet.
• Tip the skillet so the sides are coated with butter. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and stir over very low heat just until the sugar has dissolved. Spread the sugar mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the apple slices in a pattern over the brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the skillet. Any slices that do not fit into the pattern can be scattered on top of the rest -they will not show.
