I think I will try some of these ideas, I made up a recipe that is easy to do too...I spoon cooked and seasoned apples over a cake mix that has been prepared and put into a 9x11 baking dish ready to put into the oven, just before I put it the oven I spoon apples over the top of the prepared cake mix. The fruit drops down to the middle of the cake. We have to watch our sugar intake, so I do not put icing, but you could ice the cake with any icing you like. I have used canned fruit and fresh (cooked) fruit, nuts make a nice addition.
