Tips & Substitutions

  • Use unsalted butter if you want more control over the flavor. You can always add salt to taste.
  • Having a Homemade Apple Pie Spice recipe is always helpful this time of year.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to give extra warmth to the flavor. However, most apple pie fillings have cinnamon, taste beforehand.
  • Try white cake mix or spice cake mix for a different twist.
  • Any pie filling works great with this recipe.
  • I’ve found it’s easier to use a large serving spoon when serving rather than trying to cut it like a cake, since pie filling is not a solid base.
