I have tried all sorts of combinations:
Chocolate Cake Mix with 2 cans of cherry pie filling
Spice Cake Mix (or Carrot) with 2 cans Apple Pie Filling
When I made the first spice cake one, the cake mix remained in its original condition, so I began cutting the 1 1/2 sticks of butter into the cake mix with a pastry blender. Worked beautifully, so now I do that with every version I make.
DH is a diabetic, so I use the sugar free mixes by Pillsbury & they work beautifully! There are so many sugar free & no sugar added fruits/pie fillings that I can continue making these, even though there isn't a spice cake - yet. I am working on the correct proportions of spices into the yellow mix.
Edit: I always serve them with vanilla ice cream (sugar free now!)
Kathy, what a great idea to cut the butter into the cake mix - THANKS for the great tip!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
