Ingredients
2 cans (20 oz each) apple pie filling
1.5 tsp cinnamon
0.25 tsp nutmeg
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or spice cake mix
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
0.25 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the two cans of apple pie filling evenly into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg uniformly over the apple mixture.
Distribute the dry cake mix evenly over the apples.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix.
Dot the surface with the small pieces of cold butter.
Bake for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the melted butter is cooled to room temperature before drizzling to maintain the cake texture. If you prefer extra crunch, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans on top before baking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for a warm treat.
