Easy Autumn Apple
Cake
By Kelli A. Wilkins
This easy-to-make apple cake has lots of flavor and is the perfect snack for
the fall season.
Ingredients:
1
package Yellow cake mix
1
(21 oz.) can of apple pie filling
3
eggs
1
cup water
1/3
cup vegetable oil
1
tsp ground cinnamon
½
tsp ground nutmeg
¼
tsp ground cloves
Directions:
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease the cake pan. (For this recipe, I prefer
to use a Bundt cake pan.)
Prepare
the cake mix according to the box directions. Add spices and stir well. Pour
cake mix into the pan, then add the apple pie filling to the batter. (Note:
Apples will sink.)
Bake
according to box directions (approximately 34-36 min.) Check cake to make sure
it doesn’t overcook. Let cool and remove from the cake pan. Apples will usually
be on the top of the cake (almost like a pineapple upside down cake).
Substitutions:
If
you like your cake extra spicy, add more nutmeg or cloves. You can also
substitute the spices listed with 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
Want
to use fresh apples? Substitute the apple pie filling with 2 large apples,
peeled and sliced ½ to ¼ inch thick.
Options:
This
moist and flavorful cake needs no frosting. You can add a dollop of whipped
cream on the side or top of the cake when serving, or serve with vanilla ice
cream.
Enjoy!
To
celebrate the Halloween season, I’m sharing a look at my horror novella, Dead ‘Til Dawn.
Dead ‘Til Dawn
Disturbing the
dead doesn’t prove you’re brave – it proves you’re stupid.
After
touring Gettysburg battlefield, Jessica, Tim, and Steve decide to sneak out to
the Devil’s Den for some late-night fun. Jessica’s friend Kathy objects, and
warns them about trespassing where they’re not wanted.
Undaunted
by ghost stories and fueled by his own arrogance, Tim races toward the Devil’s
Den. When the group drives through mysterious battlefield fog, they find
themselves surrounded by Civil War soldiers looking for a little fun of their
own.
Kathy
leaves the others to fend for themselves and flees to Little Round Top.
Although she’s rescued by a kindhearted Union solider named Charlie, she
refuses to believe that what she’s experiencing is real. As the nighttime
battle rages on, Charlie introduces Kathy to other weary soldiers, and she
quickly realizes she’s trapped in the land of the dead until dawn.
