Sprinkle the bottom of a 9x13 pan with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, sprinkle that with a good dusting of cinnamon. Put a single layer of fresh or canned apples over the entire bottom of the pan, dust with cinnamon again. Prepare and mix any cake mix (yellow, spice, gingerbread, etc.) pour over apples and bake as directed on label. Yummy! Always a hit at my house. You can do the same with pears, peaches, berries, etc.
