The calories shown are based on the cake being cut into 16 pieces, with 1 serving being 1 slice of cake. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information.

I almost always use salted butter in my baking and I've never had a problem with the baked good being too salty. If you'd like, you can use unsalted butter. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt if you use unsalted butter. If you don't have apple cider you could also use apple juice, although you may not need quite as much since it is thinner.

Don't have apple pie spice? Here's a substitute. You can just use cinnamon, or use 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
