And comforting. The aroma of apples and cinnamon. Filled the house as it baked. And when I pulled it out of the oven. Their eyes lit up with delight. We enjoyed it together. Cozying up in the living room. And sharing stories. It’s become a family favorite ever since.

What You Need To Make This Simple 3-Ingredient Apple Pie Cake Recipe?

Apple Pie Filling: This is the star of the show. Opt for a good quality brand. To ensure your cake has a rich, apple-cinnamon flavor.

Yellow Cake Mix: This gives the cake its fluffy texture. And sweet flavor. Any brand will do. But a classic yellow cake mix works best.

Butter: Butter adds richness. And helps to create a crispy, golden crust. Make sure it’s unsalted. To control the saltiness of the cake.

Steps To Make Simple 3-Ingredient Apple Pie Cake:

Step 1: Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grab a 9×13 baking dish. And grease it well to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Layer the Filling: Open your cans of apple pie filling. Spread them evenly in the baking dish. Make sure the apples are in a nice, even layer.

Step 3: Add the Cake Mix: Take your box of yellow cake mix. And sprinkle it evenly over the apple pie filling. Don’t mix it—just let it sit on top.

Step 4: Drizzle the Butter: Melt your butter in the microwave. Or on the stove. Then, drizzle it evenly over the top of the cake mix. This will help create that beautiful, golden crust.

Step 5: Bake: Pop the dish in the oven. And bake for 40 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end. You want the top to be golden brown. And slightly crispy.

Step 6: Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s fantastic warm. Especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tip:

For an extra layer of flavor and texture. Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts. Or oats. To the top before baking. This adds a delightful crunch. That complements the soft, gooey filling. Also, if you want to make your dessert a bit more sophisticated. Sprinkle some cinnamon. And nutmeg over the apple pie filling. Before adding the cake mix. These spices enhance the apple flavor. And give your cake a warm, homemade taste. Finally, serving this cake warm. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Or a dollop of whipped cream. Will make it irresistible.
