Preheat oven to 350°F/180C

Place 1/3 cup butter in a 9x9-inch baking pan.

Place in oven 5 minutes or until butter melts.

Sprinkle brown sugar over butter and stir until the brown sugar melts into the butter.

Peel 3 medium apples and slice them thinly (Used the apple slicer in the product list below)

Arrange the apple slices on top of the butter and brown sugar mixture in a pattern as shown in the photo. Keep the rest of the apple slices aside that you don't use.

Bake in oven 10 to 15 minutes or until bubbly.

Using a grater, coarsely shred the remaining apple slices. You will have close to a cup depending upon the size of your apples. Set aside.

In bowl combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ginger, and cinnamon.

Add shredded apple, milk, 1/4 cup butter, egg, and vanilla.

Beat with electric mixer on low until combined; beat on medium 1 minute.

Spoon the batter over the apples, brown sugar and butter, spread evenly (apple may be exposed; some butter may come to surface).

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

Cool in pan on wire rack for 5 minutes.

Loosen edges and invert onto a plate big enough for the cake.

Spoon any topping in pan over top.

After 20 minutes cut into squares and serve with ice cream!

Enjoy.
