Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the two cans of apple pie filling and pour them evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading them to create a smooth, consistent layer across the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apple pie filling to enhance the warm, spicy flavor of the dessert.
- Slowly pour the entire box of yellow cake mix directly over the apple pie filling, ensuring it covers the filling completely and creates an even layer.
- Drizzle the melted unsalted butter uniformly over the dry cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible to help create a golden, crispy topping.
- If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the cake mix for added texture and nutty flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and makes it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Tips
- For the most delicious results, use high-quality apple pie filling with chunks of real apple.
- Make sure to distribute the melted butter evenly across the cake mix to ensure a perfectly crispy top.
- Don't skip the cinnamon - it adds a warm, aromatic touch that elevates the entire dessert.
- Check the cake around the 40-minute mark to prevent over-browning. Every oven is slightly different.
- Let the cake rest for at least 10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and make serving easier.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- This cake tastes even better the next day, so don't worry about leftovers!
- You can experiment with different types of nuts or even add a sprinkle of nutmeg for additional flavor.
- Store any leftover cake covered at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
