This Super Easy Apple and Ricotta Cake is made using a box of store-bought pancake mix and swirled with apple butter and ricotta!
Equipment

- whisk
- 9x13 Baking Pan
Ingredients
- 4 cups complete pancake mix
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup plus more for serving
- 2 medium apples cored and diced
- 3/4 cup apple butter
- 3/4 cup smooth ricotta cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, 2 1/2 cups water, apple pie spice, vanilla and maple syrup until smooth. Fold in the apples. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth out as evenly as possible.
