Description

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 Cans Apple Pie Filling (approx. 21 oz each)
  • 1 Box Spice Cake Mix – dry (about 15.25 oz)
  • 1 Cup Butter (2 sticks), sliced


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  3. Add Apple Filling: Pour both cans of apple pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish as the base layer.
  4. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry spice cake mix over the apple pie filling, covering the fruit layer completely.
  5. Add Butter: Slice the butter into pats and distribute them evenly over the top of the cake mix. This helps create a crisp, buttery topping.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving warm. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • This simple recipe uses only three ingredients but delivers the perfect combination of apple pie and cake flavors.
  • For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts or raisins on top before baking.
  • Be sure to use a spice cake mix rather than a plain yellow or white cake mix for the best flavor.
  • Serve warm to enjoy the gooey texture and aroma, ideal with ice cream or whipped cream.
