Description
This incredibly simple and crowd-pleasing dessert is perfect for last-minute gatherings. By combining canned apple pie filling, aromatic spices, and a buttery box of yellow cake mix, you achieve a warm, cobbler-style treat that tastes like it took hours to prepare. It is a family favorite that pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup, ensuring a comforting end to any meal.
Ingredients
3/4 cup salted butter, thinly sliced
2 (21-oz.) cans apple pie filling
1 tsp apple pie spice
1 (15.25-oz.) box yellow cake mix
Caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)
Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Spread both cans of apple pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the apple pie spice uniformly over the apple layer.
Pour the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the apples.
Distribute the butter slices in a single layer over the surface of the cake mix.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
Let the cake rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the apple filling is spread evenly to prevent dry spots in the cake layer. Covering as much of the dry cake mix as possible with the butter slices is key to achieving a uniform golden crust. This cake is best served warm with a side of vanilla ice cream.
