How to Make Cake Mix Apple Pie Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite white or yellow cake mix, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup water, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Mix according to cake mix instructions.
  3. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, prepare your favorite apple pie filling (or use 21 oz can of apple pie filling) .
  5. Spoon the apple filling evenly over the cake batter.
  6. Pour the remaining cake batter over the apple filling and gently swirl with a knife or toothpick to create a marble effect.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before glazing.
  9. For the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened margarine, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons hot water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add more hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and enjoy!
