Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 350°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter, then apples, brown sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Cook, stirring often, until apples are tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Whisk together egg, sugar, sour cream, 1/2 cup milk, half the maple syrup, 2 tbsp oil and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl. Set aside. Stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, remaining cinnamon and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium bowl. Slowly add flour mixture to the large bowl with egg mixture. Whisk until just combined. (NOTE: Don’t over mix the batter!)
Transfer apple mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread apples into an even layer. Pour batter over top. Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 30-35 min. (NOTE: At the 30 min mark, insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean the cake is done. If not, continue baking for another 4-5 min.)
When cake is done, set aside to cool in the baking dish, 10 min. Once cooled, place a large, flat plate over top of cake. Holding both the dish and plate, flip upside down to release cake onto the plate. Remove parchment paper and drizzle cake with remaining maple syrup.
