- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Place a serving plate over the cake pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate, so the apple layer is on top.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
- Optionally, you can serve this delicious upside-down apple & walnut cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
