Wash, peel, and dice your apples. Toss them with a little ground cinnamon (about 1 tsp) and set aside. 2. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together to make the honey bun filling. Set aside. 3. Add the cake mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and honey to a bowl. Mix until the cake batter comes together. 4. Spray your 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. 5. Add 1/2 of the cake batter to the pan, followed by 1/2 of the apples. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar filling. Add the remaining cake batter, followed by the remaining apples and cinnamon sugar filling. 6. Gently swirl the layers together with a knife. 7. Bake at 350°F for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. 8. Let the cake cool for no more than 10 minutes. You still want the cake to be warm when you pour the caramel glaze over the top. Caramel Glaze 1. Add the softened butter, brown sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract to a pot. 2. Once the brown sugar has melted and everything has come together, let the mixture simmer for 1 minute over medium heat without stirring. 3. After 1 minute, remove the pot from the heat and gradually add the powdered sugar in 1/4-cup increments. The amount you add will depend on how thick or thin you want your glaze. 4. Once the caramel glaze reaches your desired consistency, pour it over the warm cake and enjoy! 🫶🏽🍎 #caramelapplehoneybuncake #honeybuncake #falldesserts #zeetheintrovert
