Marsha's Notes:

When I made this recipe, this is what it looked like.

Dry cake mix in the bottom of the pan.

Filling added, topping sprinkled, and put in the oven to bake.

Finished product.

It was good, but not exactly like the picture at the top of the recipe. I wanted to post these pictures for expectation in the future.
