Notes
Will using a yellow cake mix instead of spice be bland?The apple pie filling will prevent the cake from being bland but if there’s any doubt, add a teaspoon of apple pie spice on top of the cake mix and gently mix it in.Do I have to use caramel?
No, this cake will still be delicious even if you don’t use caramel. Butterscotch sauce is a great substitute as well.
