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.

Ingredients for “Easy as Pie” Apple Cake

  1. 1 box Cake mix- for this recipe white or yellow
  2. 1 can Pie filling-for this recipe Apple
  3. 3 large eggs

Directions for “Easy as Pie” Apple Cake

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.

Apple Cake and Streusel Topping

What to do? With three apples on the way out in the fridge, not enough to make a pie, and a can of apple pie filling but no flaky pie dough.  The answer –  Apple cake and streusel topping. 

This isn’t a traditional recipe since  I’m using pie filling but it did come out fairly well, and with the streusel topping it’s great.

Ingredients for Apple cake and Streusel Topping

For the Cake:

  1. 2 cups all purpose flour
  2. 2 tsp baking soda
  3. 2 tsp baking powder
  4. 1 can apple pie filling
  5. 1 cup suar
  6. 1 tsp cinnamon
  7. 1/2 cup butter melted
  8. 2 eggs
  9. 2 Tbsp butter to grease pan

For Streusel Topping

  1. 8 Tbsp butter melted
  2. 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1/3 cup brown sugar
  4. pinch table salt
  5. 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  6. 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  7. Powered sugar for topping (optional)

 

Directions for Apple Cake and Streusel Topping 

Prepare the topping first.  Place the sugars, cinnamon,salt and flour in a bowl and stir to combine.  Pour the melted butter in and stir with a fork until all is combined and you have small pea sized pieces throughout.  Don’t break the pieces any smaller, you want the clumps in the final product.

For the Cake:

You can make this in a mixer, but it works best with a large bowl and a large spatula.

Butter a 9 X 13 inch baking pan.

Preheat oven to 325°

In the bowl place the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar into the bowl and combine.  Add the pie filling and stir until all the flour mixture is combined, then add the melted butter and eggs and mix completely.

Pour into the baking pan and smooth out, sprinkle the streusel topping over the top covering the cake completely.

Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick placed into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven place on a wire rack and let cool completely.  If you want it sweet sprinkle the powdered sugar over all.
