    This smells like apple pie but is much easier and faster to make because it's apple cake made with a cake mix. If you love this type of recipe, you might also enjoy this 2 ingredient pumpkin cake!

    Ingredients

    1 Box of Spice cake mix - I like using Betty Crocker mixes (I stock up when they are on sale)
    1 can of apple pie filling (21 oz size). I used this one because it said more fruit.
    2 large eggs

    Yup, that's it! Take a peek into your pantry and see if you have the cake mix and the apple pie filling. Three ingredients to make an apple cake. It doesn't get easier.

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Step 1

    Spray an 9 x 13 inch casserole baking dish with baking or cooking spray.

    Step 2

    Put the eggs in a bowl and beat them. Add the spice cake mix, mix well then add the apple pie filling.

    Step 3
    Gently mix to incorporate all the ingredients. You don't want to be too aggressive with your stirring or you'll break all the delicious, cinnamony apples in the apple pie filling.


    Step 4

    Baking time is approximately 30 minutes. Check if done by poking with a toothpick or skewer. If it comes out clean, it's done!

    FAQ's

    Can I use yellow cake mix?

    Yes! Just make sure you add about 1 ½ teaspoons of either apple pie spice.

    Is this also known as apple dump cake?

    Yes it is. But some people aren't familiar with that term anymore.
