Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces / 432 grams)
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces / 595 grams)
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and meticulously coat a 9×13-inch (23×33 centimeters) baking dish with a thin layer of butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, gently fold together the entire can of apple pie filling with two large eggs, ensuring the ingredients are thoroughly integrated but not overmixed.
- Gradually introduce the yellow cake mix to the apple and egg mixture, stirring with deliberate strokes until the dry and wet ingredients are just combined, avoiding excessive stirring that could create a tough texture.
- Transfer the completed batter into the prepared baking dish, using a silicone spatula to distribute the mixture evenly across the surface, creating a smooth and uniform layer.
- Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, periodically checking the cake’s doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center; the toothpick should emerge without any raw batter clinging to it.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 45-60 minutes, which helps the cake set and makes slicing easier.
- After cooling, slice the cake into square or rectangular portions and serve directly from the baking dish, optionally garnishing with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Dust with powdered sugar or top with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- Use canned apple pie filling for convenience or homemade filling for a fresher taste.
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors like spice or white cake for unique variations.
- Perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or quick dessert cravings with minimal preparation.
