Notes

  • If you use a yellow cake mix, add 2 teaspoons cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg to the cake batter.
  • If you want an icing, make a powdered sugar glaze with 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ½ teaspoon cinnamon and 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy whipping cream. Drizzle over cake.
  • Use any pie filling to switch up the flavors!
