Ingredients for Apple Pie Filling Cake

  • 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Butter Pecan Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

How to Make Apple Pie Filling Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  3. Pour one (21 ounce) can of apple pie filling into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
  4. Evenly distribute one (15.25 ounce) box of your favorite yellow cake mix over the brown sugar and apple pie filling. Do not stir.
  5. Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter into small cubes and sprinkle evenly over the cake mix.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  8. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
