Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix It Up!
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, apple pie filling, and eggs. Mix until well combined. For a smoother texture, you can gently break up the apple pieces with a spatula.
3. Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Cool & Enjoy!
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream is the perfect finishing touch!
Cooking Notes
- Spice it Up: Use spice cake mix instead of yellow for a warmer, fall flavor.
- Smoother Texture: Mash the apple pie filling slightly before mixing for a less chunky texture.
Variations
- Add Some Spice: A teaspoon of cinnamon or apple pie spice adds extra warmth.
- Nutty Crunch: Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Caramel Apple Pie: Drizzle with caramel sauce for a decadent twist.
