Apple Pear Upside Down Cake

M, K and I finally went to see the new Skyfall James Bond movie.  M thought the movie didn't have as much action or gadgets as it usually does.  I thought it had lots of stunts and action but I went to see what all the fuss was about.  Daniel Craig does a good job as Bond and I liked the new theme song by Adele.

I was inspired to make this cake on the weekend as I browsed through the current edition of Healthy Living Magazine. The Apple pear upside down cake is on page 46 of the current edition, I think.  My version is actually just with apples as I didn't have any pears on hand.  It also called for buttermilk, but I used plain yogurt as that is all I had.   I also used almonds instead of pecans.  It turned out to be quite delicious!  If you like the magazine, you can sign up for a free online subscription.  It has all kinds of interesting health information.

Sounds good! I wonder if canned peaches would do as a substitute. I have a case of canned peaches.

Well at least your cake turned out scrumptious!
I tried baking an upside down cake last night, and it was a total disaster :-(
