Ingredients
15.25 oz yellow cake mix
2 cans (21 oz each) apple pie filling
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel sauce as needed for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, two cans of apple pie filling, eggs, and ground cinnamon.
Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze and caramel sauce over the warm cake before serving.
Notes
Ensure you use finely sliced apple filling for a better texture. You can substitute the milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free glaze alternative. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
