Ingredients for Apple Pie Coffee Cake

How to Make Apple Pie Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix, 2 large eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup water.
  3. Set aside 1 tablespoon of dry cake mix and 1 1/2 cups of apple pie filling.
  4. Beat the cake batter on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1 tablespoon of cake mix with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the bundt pan.
  8. Spoon the reserved 1 1/2 cups of apple pie filling over the brown sugar layer.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the apple pie filling.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze (recipe below).
  13. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
