Apple Spice cake is a quick and easy dessert perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easily made to be dairy-free by subbing out the butter for a plant-based option and the milk from another milk substitute.  My sister has a dairy allergy, so this is one of the deserts that are easily made to fit her dietary restrictions. Of course, it’s still just as wonderful with dairy, I prefer the recipe with dairy. I originally found this recipe on Pinterest but have made some changes to suit my liking.

Ingredients:

• 1 box of spice cake mix
• 1 20 oz. can of apple pie filling
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup of softened butter
• 3 cups of powdered sugar
• ½ cup of brown sugar
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 2 tbsp of milk
• 1 tsp of vanilla

Directions for cake:

• Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees
• Mix cake mix, pie filling, and eggs until mixed completely. (There will still be chunks of apple)
• Grease a 9X13 pan, and pour the mixture into the pan
• Bake for 25-30 min, until a knife comes out clean
• Cool completely before frosting

Directions for frosting:

• Whip the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla until fluffy
• Slowly add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time
• Add milk to reach desired consistency
• Frost cake when cool
