Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider using a flavored pie filling like cherry or blueberry. If you want a lighter option, substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free blend. For added texture, try replacing walnuts with pecans or leaving them out entirely for a nut-free version. Remember to rotate the dish halfway through for even cooking.
