Recipe Thursday #26: Blackberry Apple Upside Down Cake

I saw this recipe in the September issue of Southern Living and I knew I had to try it! I just had to wait for the weather to be correct. There's something about 100+ temperatures that makes fall/winter desserts seem totally out of place. I finally made this today (it came out of the over about an hour ago) and I already took a fork to it! It is soooo good! We are having this for dessert tonight with some vanilla ice cream. Yum!!

*As usual, I've made some modifications to the original recipe

Before spooning in the batter

All done!
