Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 – 20 ounce cans of apple pie filling
  • 15 ounce box of yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Apple Pie Filling: Spread the two cans of apple pie filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring full coverage for a moist base.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly on top of the apple filling, covering it completely but do not mix.
  4. Pour Melted Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix, aiming to cover as much of the surface as possible to create a crispy topping.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool to room temperature before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or cover with plastic wrap. Leftovers stay fresh for 3 to 4 days.
  • Let the cake cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating to maintain texture.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
