To make the cake

-
Pour melted butter and brown sugar mixture into a 9" x 13" baking dish, then layer apple slices on top.
-
Prepare cake batter by combining cake mix, the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk, or use your favorite standard cake recipe to create a batter from scratch with the additional cinnamon and nutmeg.
-
Pour cake batter into pan over the apples. Transfer to oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
