In a bowl, cream together 3/4 cup softened butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract and mix until combined.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 3/4 cup milk and 1 tsp lemon extract.

Pour the batter over the arranged apples in the pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Invert the cake onto a serving plate, allowing the apples to be on top.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
