Chocolate Castles as wel

Yesterday I had signed up to take a dessert to our ladies Bible Study/Dinner. Because the temps were under 90 and I had 1 box of Betty Crocker spice cake mix and numerous boxes of Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mixes (their new colors and designs are very eye catching, well done #Duncanhines), I decided to experiment a little. I’m sorry I didn’t think to take a picture of the finished product because truth be told I got caught up looking at all the great food the ladies brought trying to decide what to eat! BUT. The cake was a hit. I didn’t bring any home. It is so easy and you will not be disappointed! If you love apples, It will be a dish that will grace your table throughout the Fall!

1 Box of Spice Cake Mix

1 1/2 sticks cold butter

2 cans apple pie filling

2 teas pumpkin pie filling

1/2 cup light brown sugars

1 cup chopped pecans (I used the pralined pecans because I had them and LOVE them)

Preheat oven to 350 and Spray a 9×13 baking dish with Pam

Empty both cans of apple pie filling into baking dish. Sprinkle the pumpkin pie seasoning over the apple filling and then sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples

Evenly pour the dry spice cake mix over the apple mixture. Using a spoon or your hand, be sure cake mix is evenly distributed!

Slice the cold butter into about 18-20 slices. Lay them out individually over the dry cake mix being sure they are well spaced! You will see in picture below what it should look like! Place in preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 min depending on your oven! Serve warm or room temperature!
