Variations & Tips
If you have picky eaters, you can try using half apple pie filling and half cherry pie filling for a mixed fruit option. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix. If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the cinnamon sugar mixture or use unsweetened apple pie filling. Feel free to get creative by adding chopped nuts or caramel bits to the topping before baking for extra texture and flavor.
