Notes
Use spice cake mix instead of yellow for added warmth.If using fresh apples, cook them first with sugar, spices, and cornstarch until soft.Ensure butter covers the cake mix to avoid dry patches.Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving for best texture.
