Athens-style apple pie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This upside-down cake turns out incredibly delicious thanks to the wonderful combination of apples and light sponge batter. You won't need baking soda, yeast, or baking powder, as the cake rises very well on its own. This cake is great with tea or coffee, and the best part is you can make it even when guests are already at the door! That's why I want to share it with you. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

4. Place the apples in a parchment-lined baking dish, covering the bottom completely. Pour the remaining apple syrup from the pan over the apples. Pour the batter over the apples, smooth it out slightly, and cover the top with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent the cake from burning.
