Ingredients
- yellow cake mix - any cake mix brand will work
- apple pie filling
- ground cinnamon
- eggs
- water
- sour cream

Alternative ingredients
- Instead of yellow cake mix use a white cake mix. For additional flavor, use a spice cake mix.
- Add a dash of nutmeg or ginger to the ground cinnamon.
- You don't need to add the frosting on top, but it does add great flavor.
- greek yogurt can be used instead of the sour cream.
Mixing the ingredients
The apple pie cake can be mixed with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. It also can be mixed by hand, but for best results, use a mixer. It helps add rise to the cake.
The batter goes in a 9x13 cake pan like any other cake and then the apple pie filling gets put on top.
The apple pie filling doesn't need to be spread out, on the top of the batter is fine. The cake batter will rise up around the filling nicely to make the cake complete.
The frosting
The frosting is a simple mix of melted butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. It will be drizzled on a cooled cake and it adds a touch of vanilla flavor to this cake. It is so good!
This fall cake recipe is great for a Holiday dessert table or for anytime! The apple flavors are perfect for fall. Serve it with your favorite Crockpot Apple Cider recipe!
