Spiced Apple Butter Bars

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving 2 inches of foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray.

In large bowl, beat cake mix, butter and egg with electric mixer on low speed about 1 minute or just until crumbly. Stir in pecans, using hands if necessary. Reserve 1 cup mixture. Press remaining mixture in bottom of pan. Spread apple butter over crust. Crumble reserved pecan mixture over top.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 2 hours. Use foil to lift out of pan. Cut into 5 rows by 4 rows.
