Who has ever come close to the stage that a spin may occur?
I think many of us have been closer than perhaps you think. I was taught the most likely place to spin inadvertently is turning final, with a low airspeed and some bank. In that scenario if you now apply out-of-bank aileron you have all the ingredients necessary.

As a novice I would probably (given the presence of mind) shove full forward yoke and full aileron/rudder.
Might not be such a good idea if you don't have inverted fuel and oil! My guess is the same thing as at altitude. Unload, centralise and then roll to the nearest horizon and apply power as required, pulling or pushing to your horizon. It's very important to manage any power on yaw when recovering at a slow speed. It's gonna depend based on what your flying though. That's my opinion at least!
