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