If a caramel apple and a snickerdoodle got together and created some seriously delicious magic, you'd end up with these soft and chewy cookies that taste like a mug of warm spiced cider on a crisp fall day.
However you look at boxed cake mix—a desperate measure for desperate times or a jumping-off point for an infinite number of delicious desserts—here are our best strategies to make it taste better than you ever imagined.
Cake made with applesauce is good. Cake made with apple butter—which is basically just super-concentrated applesauce—is so, so much better. Moist and tender, with huge apple-y flavor, this simple spice cake is the ultimate bring-to-your-friend's-house baked good. If you really want your mind blown, serve the slices topped with more apple butter, a dollop of yogurt, and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
