Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the apple pie filling into the cake batter. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the texture of the apples.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with optional cinnamon or walnuts for added flavor.
- Place the cake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Serving
- Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent dessert experience.
Storage
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months.
