: Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for baking dish
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole milk
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

: Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter an 8-inch round cake pan; line bottom with parchment paper and butter paper. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add granulated sugar and lemon juice; cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbling, about 1 minute. Add apples; cook, stirring occasionally, until well coated, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer apples to prepared pan, arranging in circles.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat remaining 4 tablespoons butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three parts, alternating with milk in two parts.
Pour batter over apples; smooth top. Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 15 minutes.
Run a knife around edge of pan; invert cake onto a plate, and remove parchment. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners’ sugar.
