Easy as Pie - Apple Cake
Easy Apple Cake Quite a while ago while surfing through the vast world-wide web for an apple cake recipe , I found a couple of recipes for cakes with pie filling that were very simple. I had my reservations about the outcome, but today being out of brown sugar for crumble topping and Nabisco wafer and heavy cream for a birthday cake, my options were diminishing quickly so I thought it was a good time to try.
This recipe is just about fool-proof and probably works best in a bundt pan but the possibilities are endless with so many variations of fruit and cake batter.
For this recipe I used two 8" cake pans and a little buttercream frosting to glue the two together with powdered sugar on top so that it looked more like a birthday layer cake, but it will work fine in a 9 X 13 , bundt or angel food pan as well. Just watch the cake for timing.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- Grease and flour cake pan.
- In a large bowl combine the cake mix, pie filling and eggs and fold the mixture together until all the ingredients are combined and a moist batter is formed.
- Pour into cake pan and set in the center of the oven for approximately 30 minutes.
- Cake will be done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool slightly, then turn the cake carefully out of the pan.
