Apple Spiced Cake with apple pie filling

Apple spiced cake with apple pie filling and caramelized walnuts between each layer; on top cream cheese frosting and apple rosettes for garnish. This cake was everything I hoped for, and more!
The cake is soft and nicely spiced, the apple filling is way better than store bought, the walnuts are caramelized with brown sugar (I used my Caramelized Walnuts recipe), which gives a smokey, amazing flavor, and to top it all, a tangy, not-so-sweet cream cheese frosting

What kind of icing goes on Apple Spiced Cake?
This definitely depends on what you like; personally, I obviously favor tangier frostings instead of sweeter ones like buttercream. I love how the flavors compliment each other.
If you don’t feel like using cream cheese, take a look at my Goat Cheese Frosting, which will pair amazingly with this cake and will take it to a whole new level.
How to store Apple spiced Cake
Because of the caramelized walnuts, this Cake is better eaten the day it’s made. Nothing wrong with eating it the next day you make it! only that the caramelized walnuts won’t be as cruchy as when you initially made it.
Because of the cream cheese frosting, this cake needs to be stored in a cool place; if your house stays at 70 degrees or cooler, you can keep it covered on the counter for 2 to 3 days. Otherwise, this cake is better stored covered and refrigerated.
