Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 9x13 inch pan with baking spray.
  2. Prepare the yellow cake according to package instructions: add cake mix, 3 eggs, water and oil to the bowl of your mixer and mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss together the apple mixture ingredients together and spread over the cake batter.
  4. In a medium bowl stir together the flour, brown sugar and salt for the topping and cut in the butter using a fork or pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle topping over the apples and cake batter, evenly.
  5. Bake anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if preferred.

Notes

  • For the apple mixture: Choose tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor.
  • Baking time may vary: Ovens can be temperamental, so start checking at 35 minutes.
  • Optional Add-ins: A handful of walnuts or pecans in the topping adds a delightful crunch.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the apple mixture and the topping a day in advance, just store them separately in the fridge.
  • Serving Suggestion: This cake pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
