Ingredients:

The Cake

1 box pumpkin cake mix

2 cans apple pie filling

1 tablespoon cinnamon ( divided)

1 stick cold unsalted butter and one half stick melted ( I will get back to the melted)

1 cup brown sugar

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

1 pint heavy whipping cream ( cold)

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Add the pie filling to a 13×9 pan and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon.

Cover the apples with dry cake mix and tab the cold butter and place it all over the top.

Bake at 350° for 35 minutes, remove cake to the counter and melt the half stick of butter.

With a brush, baste the entire cake with the melted butter ( yup more buttah ) and then sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon and the brown sugar ( more or less sugar  to taste)  Place back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes. remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

The Cinnamon whipped Cream

In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the cream, cinnamon and powdered sugar until good and thick,  not too long, about 3 minutes on high. Then chill until ready to use.

After cake has completely cooled, top with whipped cream and serve!
