  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 large cooking apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced (about 2 1/3 cups)
  • 1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® Golden cake mix

Steps

  • 1

    Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Loosen sides of cake from pan. Place heatproof serving platter upside down on pan; carefully turn platter and pan over. Let pan remain over cake about 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over cake. Remove pan.
