Cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 apple, grated
2 cups cold heavy cream
3/4 cup sour cream
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Candy eyeballs, for decorating

Steps:

Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides; coat with cooking spray.
Whisk the flour, pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the melted butter, both sugars, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Stir the grated apple and the flour mixture into the butter mixture with a rubber spatula until combined.
Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until the top springs back when gently pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let cool completely.
Make the frosting: Combine the heavy cream, sour cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until thickened, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 more minutes.
Transfer the frosting to a large piping bag fitted with a flat tip. Lift the cake out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into rectangles and transfer to a platter. Pipe the frosting on top in a zigzag pattern to look like bandages. Add candy eyeballs.
