I have been making glow in the dark ornaments since 2001. For a few years before that the ornaments didn't glow in the dark but were still loved and cherished by many. They're NOT just for Christmas, they make a GREAT gift for ANY occassion! There are now 1,000 designs that we are trying to make.

PreHeat oven to 350* F

In heavy 1 quart saucepan, cook butter, whipping cream and brown sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until butter is melted. Pour into 13x9-inch pan. Sprinkle with nut; top with sliced apples.

In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, eggs, oil, eggs and apple pie spice with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Carefully spoon batter over apple mixture.

Bake 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Cool IN pan for 10 minutes.

Loosen sides of cake from pan. Place heatproof serving platter upside down on pan. CAREFULLY turn platter and pan over. Let pan remain over cake for about 1 minute so carmel can drizzle over cake. Remove pan.

In small bowl, mix frosting and whipped topping. Serve warm cake topped with frosting mixture and drizzle with caramel topping.
