Tip from www.bettycrocker.com website: Substitution You can use cinnamon for the apple pie spice for a slightly different flavor. Success Granny Smith and Braeburn are good apple choices to use in this recipe. -
I had to make a few substitutions, as I did not have a yellow cake mix - so I made my own basic sponge mix up! I also had to make my own frosting....however, this cake was delicious! I did add caramel topping, as it went so well with the apples. I used the last of my pecans, and had to add a few walnuts to them - the nuts also went well with all of the other ingredients! I made this for Chef-I-Am's Cake-a-Thon. Thanks for posting such a lovely cake recipe! FT:-)
