Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly on the bottom of a round microwave Bundt cake pan.

- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the apple filling.
- Optionally, top with chopped nuts and brown sugar.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix for added flavor. You can also substitute the apple pie filling with homemade applesauce or other fruit fillings like cherry or peach. Adjust cinnamon to your taste, and for added crunch, use walnuts or pecans. If you want a lighter option, try reducing the brown sugar or using a sugar substitute.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Spiced Apple Ring warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider drizzling with caramel sauce or serving alongside Lang'S Salad Dressing for a unique flavor contrast.
