• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick), plus more for coating the ramekins
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup orange blossom honey
• 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon packed finely grated orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
2. Coat 6 (6-ounce) ramekins with butter and evenly space them on a baking sheet.
3. Divide almonds among the ramekins.
4. Peel, core, and cut the apple into medium dice.
5. Place in a medium, nonreactive bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, and toss to combine; set aside.
6. Melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat until foaming.
7. Add sugar, honey, and salt and stir to combine.
8. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until mixture just starts to turn a light caramel color, about 5 minutes.
9. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and stir to combine.
10. Remove the pan from heat and carefully place about 2 tablespoons of the caramel in each ramekin.
11. (Work quicklythe caramel will start to set after a few minutes.)
12. Divide the apple pieces among the ramekins, leaving any juice in the bowl; set the ramekins aside.
13. Place flour, orange zest, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to aerate and break up any lumps; set aside.
14. Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium high until light in color and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
15. Add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until incorporated and fluffy, about 3 minutes more.
16. Add eggs one at a time, letting the first incorporate before adding the second.
17. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle with a rubber spatula.
18. Return the mixer to low speed, add the milk, and mix until just incorporated.
19. Add the reserved flour mixture and mix until just incorporated, about 30 seconds; do not overmix.
20. Evenly spoon the batter over the apples and smooth the tops.
21. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
22. Immediately run a knife around the perimeter of each cake.
23. Using a dry kitchen towel to grasp the ramekins, invert the hot cakes onto serving plates.
24. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
