[recipe] Upside-Down Apple Gingerbread ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

This is a great recipe I recently tried and veganized.

Perfect to make for dessert this time of year when

the apples are at their peak.

 

Upside-Down Apple Gingerbread

 

1/4 cup vegan margarine, melted

2 large tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

 

GINGERBREAD:

1/2 cup vegan margarine, melted

1/2 cup molasses

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup applesauce

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

3/4 cup hot tea

 

Pour margarine into a 9-inch baking pan.

Arrange apples over margarine; sprinkle with

brown sugar and set aside. For gingerbread,

combine margarine, molasses, sugars and

applesauce in a mixing bowl; mix well.

Combine the dry ingredients; add to sugar

mixture alternately with the hot tea. Mix well;

pour over apples. Bake at 350 degrees for

45 to 50 minutes or until cake tests done.
