Materials

Cake:

  • 21 oz. can apple pie filling, chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 15.25 oz. box spice cake mix (or vanilla, white, or yellow cake mix)

Frosting:

  • 8 oz. frozen whipped topping, defrosted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup apple pie filling, chopped or blended

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare cake pan with non-stick spray.

Cake:

  • In large bowl, mix chopped pie filling with eggs. Add cake mix and stir until combined. Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pans and level out surface.
  • Bake per directions on box, then check for doneness by inserting toothpick in center of cake. Toothpick should come out clean, or bake for additional 2 - 3 minutes, then check again.
  • Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans onto wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting:

  • Chop or blend apple pie filling depending on how you want to apply frosting. Blending the pie filling will be necessary if using piping tip.
  • Mix whipped topping with powdered sugar, then stir in pie filling.
  • Place a liberal amount of frosting on the bottom layer, followed by the top layer. Frost sides and top.
  • Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe can be made into a double layer cake, cupcakes, or a 13 x 9" cake. Follow baking directions on box and plan on checking for doneness. It is likely 2 - 3 minutes additional baking time will be needed.
