Since fall will be here very soon, I decided to make up an apple version of those tasty mini upside-down cakes. I tossed in apples instead of pineapples and added some cinnamon and nutmeg with the topping for a fall inspired sauce.

These Mini Apple Upside Down Cakes are perfect for fall gatherings. You can enjoy them as is or with additional toppings. I think they were great just plain. But we did add on some store bought caramel (you can use Homemade Caramel Sauce) and chopped peanuts to kick them up another notch.

During the fall months, I am constantly making apple and pumpkin desserts. The house always smells so amazing and my family is always so thankful for comforting after dinner desserts.

Since this recipe uses a store bought cake mix, it comes together so easily. I love saving time. I did add some diced apples as well as some additional cinnamon and nutmeg. Those additions made the cake part so much better.
