What You'll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bottom of two 8-inch round cake pans and pour butter evenly over sugar.
In each pan, arrange apple slices in a single layer over sugar and arrange cranberries evenly around apple slices.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, eggs, cinnamon, and cloves; beat until well combined.
Evenly divide batter between the two pans and bake 30 to 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of each comes out clean. Let cakes cool 5 minutes.
Loosen gently with knife and invert onto 2 platters. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving.
