Ingredients
4
medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup
honey
1/4 cup
light brown sugar
2 teaspoons
apple or pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon
kosher salt
2 tablespoons
freshly squeezed lemon juice
1
(15-ounce) box of spice cake mix
1 cup
(2 sticks) unsalted butter, frozen and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. (If you don’t have one, you can use a 9x13-inch baking dish instead.)
- Stir the apples, honey, brown sugar, pie spice, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl until the apples are evenly coated. Pour this mixture into the prepared skillet. Use the back of your wooden spoon to press down the apples into an even layer, preventing large gaps.
- Pour the cake mix on top of the apples and use a spoon or flexible spatula to smooth into an even layer, all the way to the edges of the skillet. Evenly distribute the sliced butter on top, covering completely.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and you see the juices bubbling around the edges of the skillet.
- Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
