For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in the bottom of the pan. Spice it up by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If you don't have apples on hand, try using other fruits like peaches, pears, or even cranberries for a festive twist. To prevent the cake from sticking, grease the baking pan thoroughly before adding the butter and brown sugar. For a caramel sauce, combine 1/2 cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of butter. Let cool slightly before drizzling over the cake.
