Description

A simple and delicious dessert made with apple pie filling, cake mix, and butter. Just dump everything in a pan and bake—no mixing required!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 (21 oz) cans apple pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread the apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg, if using.
  • Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the apple filling—do not stir!
  • Sprinkle chopped pecans over the cake mix (if using).
  • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top, making sure as much of the cake mix is moistened as possible.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix for a richer flavor.
  • For extra crunch, try adding oats or walnuts on top.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, use unsweetened apple pie filling or reduce the caramel drizzle.
