pan. Pour melted unsalted butter into pan-, spread brown sugar evenly over
pan bottom. Arrange apple slices, overlapping slightly, on brown sugar
mixture.

3. For the gingerbread: whisk together flour, baking soda, salt,ginger,
cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and cocoa in medium bowl.

an electric mixer on low speed.
5. Add dry ingredients to liquid" beat on medium speed until batter is
smooth and thick, about 1 minute, scraping down sides of bowl with rubber
spatula as needed. Do not overmix. (If using fresh ginger, batter will be
lumpy.)
