Servings: persons

Topping
1/2 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
2 cups of thinly sliced apples (any baking apples will work; I used a mix of 3 kinds)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tbsn honey
Cake
Yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup water
1 small applesauce cup (personal size)
1 tspn ground cinnamon
1/2 tspn ground nutmeg
1/16 cup chopped walnuts (approx)

1
Melt 1/2 cup butter for topping. Mix with light brown sugar until creamy. Coat on bottom of 8x8 cake pan (lightly butter or spray the sides of the pan). Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped walnuts on mixture (more or less to your taste). Layer apples on top of mixture. The 2 cups of apples made two layers for me. Drizzle honey over apples.
2
In mixing bowl, mix yellow cake mix, 3/4 cup melted butter, 3 eggs, and 1 1/4 cup water together until blended.
3
Add in small applesauce packet. This made the cake very moist for me.
4
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and the rest of the walnuts into the batter and mix thoroughly. I like a lightly spiced flavor, nothing to overwhelm the apples. You could easily add more spice if you would like it.
5
Bake in 350 degree oven for 35-50 minutes, or until cake is done.
6
Let cool.
7
Place tray on top of cake and flip cake out of pan. Slice, and eat!
8
This tastes great with a scoop of ice cream or cool whip. Hope you enjoy!
