Apple Upside Down Cake
I hope you’ve been enjoying all my recent comfort food recipes I’ve been sharing! I know I’ve enjoyed making AND eating them too. My goal has been to show you that comfort food can be both delicious and good for you! Take a peek at the #AllBran hashtag on social media and you’ll some awesome fibre-filled “comfort food moderne” recipes that will make your tummy growl!
My appetizer recipe, French Onion Stuffed Mushrooms, combines all the flavours from the classic soup recipe into a bite sized, fibre-filled mushroom cap. Think holiday parties! My entree, Healthy Shepherd’s Pie, is comfort food you can eat without the guilt! It has the traditional meat and veggies with a fibre kick. The topping is creamy mashed cauliflower. Even my kids enjoyed it.
Today’s recipe takes the cake. No really, it does! I hope you like Apple Upside Down Cake because I sure do. Apple desserts + fall go hand in hand. I’ve been making this dessert for several years, but only recently started adding All-Bran Buds to my recipe. I love that it’s sweet and is helping my family reach their daily fibre goals.
Let’s move onto the recipe, shall we? It has quite a few ingredients, but I bet you’ll have most of these pantry staples already on hand.
My favourite kind of apples to use in baking recipes are Granny Smith apples! These are also the apples that my youngest daughter asks that we buy when we are shopping. I love their tartness.
Toss in some brown sugar, walnuts and spices. It smells like fall!
Don’t forget to grease your baking pan! This is an important step. If you forget, your cake will not flip over so easily. I know this from experience! These apples will eventually become your cake topping.
The star of the show are All-Bran Buds cereal and I think this recipe shows just how versatile they are. Enjoy them for breakfast in milk or yogurt, add them to a smoothie or salad and now to your desserts! Each 1/3 cup serving contains 44% of the recommended daily fibre.
They’ll be mixed into the cake batter.
It has what I like to call “fall spices” which basically means cinnamon and nutmeg. I seem to use these two in many desserts this time of year.
Add your wet ingredients to your dry and give it a good stir. Pour the mixture evenly over the apples. It’s baking time, folks!
Your home will fill with the heavenly scent of baked apples and cinnamon. Because you’ve greased your baking pan so well, it should just slide right out easily onto your cooling rack. It will still be steaming so be careful!
Moist, sweet and full of healthy fibre. This is my kinda dessert!
I brought this cake to our Thanksgiving dinner at my parent’s house. It was a hit! My mom said it reminded her of a snacking cake and that it wasn’t overpoweringly sweet.
Many Canadians struggle to get the recommended 25 grams of fibre a day. Think about your own fibre intake. Are you getting enough? The good news is that there are many tasty, fibre-rich foods including the ones I’ve shared so far through my partnership with Kellogg’s All-Bran.
This fall, Kellogg’s All-Bran has teamed up with three top Canadian chefs who have created 15 delicious comfort food recipes that are perfect for people who want to eat healthy, but aren’t willing to sacrifice on taste. Visit All-Bran on Pinterest and take a peek at all their yummy pins. When you see a recipe you like, pin it to one of your boards so you can try it later on. I’ve been pinning a bunch myself!
You’ll also find this Apple Upside Down Cake recipe there too! It’s a keeper.

Fibre promotes regularity, contributes to healthy cholesterol levels and helps you maintain a healthy body weight. I encourage you to try some new recipes!

The Best of Simply Stacie

I have not made any recipes yet but I wanted to leave a comment for Simply Stacie to give her kudos for being so honest with her web page and recipes. I have been trying to find a place where I could get some good recipes to put on my FB page for seniors. I will not name the other web page but I wanted to say that I tried for some time to get a recipe for the Hawaiian roll’s sticky buns on that site and it kept having me download different things but I never got a copy of the recipe! That website lost a customer and maybe some recommendations. Honest is still the best policy to keep a business going. I am still “Old School”! “Kudos” again to “STACIE”
