Ingredients

  • 2 cans apple pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • ¾ cup salted butter melted
  • ½ cup pecans chopped (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice (optional)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C) and grease a 9x13 inches baking dish.
  • Dump the apple pie filling directly into the tray and spread it evenly with a spatula. If using apple pie spice, sprinkle 1 teaspoon directly over the pie filling.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix over the apple pie filling evenly. Do not press it down. Top with the remaining 1 teaspoon apple pie spice (optional).
  • Pour melted butter directly over the cake mix, trying to get it as even as possible. Do not use a spatula to try to spread the butter. Instead, tilt the baking dish at an angle and in a circular motion to spread the butter across the cake mix. It’s okay to have a few uncovered spaces.
  • Sprinkle with chopped pecans or other desired toppings. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden-brown in color.
  • Serve warm with ice cream, honey or caramel sauce.
