This quick cake has lots of delicious apples, sweet potatoes, spices, pecans and caramel. My surprise of white cheddar cheese enhances the wonderful filling. —Kathy Specht, Clinton, Montana

Test Kitchen tip

Don't leave out the cheddar! It's subtle and adds a slightly sweet-salty flavor that makes this dump cake special.
