Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 can 21 oz apple pie filling
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing and flouring it to prevent sticking.
  • Gather all ingredients and equipment. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better integration with the batter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, apple pie filling, and eggs. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
  • If desired, fold in additional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. You can also add nuts for texture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week.
