Have you ever made something in the kitchen, tasted it and wanted to give yourself a big high-five because it is so gosh-dang ridiculously good? Savannah and I made this amazing Apple Upside Down Cake with a Vanilla Spiced Whipped Cream and my GOSH it’s good! Sorry Pineapple Upside Down Cake, it may be time to bow down to the Apple!

How the apple is the hero of this dish!!! It is so moist and the spices just give it that classic apple dessert taste but the caramelized sugars and cream make it over-the-top-amazing!
