Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 21 oz apple pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  • Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over filling (do not stir).
  • Drizzle melted butter evenly across the top.
  • Bake 45–50 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold butter cut into thin slices instead of melted for an extra-crispy topping.
  • Swap apple pie filling for cherry, peach, or blueberry for a twist.
  • Spice cake mix pairs wonderfully with apples for a cozier flavor.
  • Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect finish.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
