Easy Apple Cake Recipe
Description
The Easy Apple Cake Recipe melds boxed yellow cake mix with apple pie filling and cinnamon to create a moist cake with tender crumb and fruity bursts. By folding in the pie filling by hand after mixing the wet and dry ingredients, the recipe ensures the apple chunks remain intact while baking. This cake is baked until a toothpick comes out clean, resulting in a soft texture that balances the sweetness of cake with the tartness of the apples. The cinnamon highlights the apple flavor without overwhelming the cake.
Serving with caramel sauce and ice cream complements the baked apples and adds a creamy, rich element to each bite. The cake can be enjoyed warm or cooled, making it flexible for different occasions and preferences.
The recipe accommodates using spice cake mix as an alternative, omitting added cinnamon for a different flavor profile. Baking temperature adjustments for dark pans ensure even cooking without burning.
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 egg large
- 1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
- caramel sauce for serving
- Ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (or 325°F if using a dark-colored pan).
- Grease & flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Add the cake mix, cinnamon, oil, and eggs to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until it's smooth and then hand stir in the apple pie filling (so it doesn’t get crushed by the mixer).
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool.
- When ready to serve, top with ice cream and caramel sauce.
Notes
- Using a spice cake mix removes the need to add cinnamon for flavor balance.
