Peal the apples, remove seeds and cut into thin slices.

In a big bowl, or in a food processor, beat butter and sugar very well.
Add eggs one by one.
Add milk and vanilla.
Whisk and add shifted flour with baking powder, little by little, until you have a thick batter.
Line a cake pan (preferably an adjustable one) with parchment paper and place the apple slices.
Rinse them with more lemon juice.
Sprinkle on apples cinnamon and brown sugar.
Pour the batter over apples and bake for about an hour.
Let the cake cool for a while and place it upside down on a platter.
In a small saucepan add 2 cups brown sugar and ½ cup water over medium heat.
When sugar starts to boil and makes bubbles remove from the heat and add 1 cup water.
Return the saucepan to the heat and boil until the syrup become deep golden brown and thick.
Thank you for responding so fast. The cake sounds delicious and I love cooking with apples so I wanted to make it ASAP. Gonna jump right in while it's still warm.
