*As I discussed, this cake relies on our Apple Upside Down cake recipe, however we selected to not add the brown sugar and butter to the underside of the pan earlier than layering on the apple slices as we did with that recipe.

This cake has a very good quantity of rum taste however isn’t overpowering. If you need much more rum taste, you can enhance the quantity of rum within the glaze recipe (and reduce the quantity of water).
