I have a similar recipe but use the whole can of pie filling. I don't take it out of the can to slice the apples. I just run a sharp knife through the fill while it's in the can Usually just quarter the pieces. I use the whole can in the cake. Also throw some chopped walnuts on the batter before baking. I am going to try this recipe because this apple spice cake sounds different with the jelly. Apple spice cake is one of my luncheon groups favorite.
