Ingredients:
-
- 21 oz canned apple pie filling
- 15.2 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup butter, melted
Directions:
-

- Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over that.
- Pour dry cake mix over the top of that.
- Then pour melted butter over it all.
- Cook on low 2.5 hours
Tips:
-
- Apple Options: Use canned apple pie filling for convenience or fresh apples (4-5 medium apples, peeled and sliced, tossed with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon) for a homemade touch.
- Butter Distribution: For even coverage, cut butter into thin pats and place over the cake mix instead of drizzling, or grate cold butter for better spread.
- Variations: Swap apple filling for cherry, peach, or blueberry pie filling. Add a sprinkle of oats or brown sugar for a crispier topping.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free cake mix for dietary needs.
