Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cans (20 oz each) apple pie filling
  2. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  3. 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  4. 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  5. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  6. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  7. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  8. 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for snickerdoodle flavor)
  9. Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the filling: Spread the apple pie filling in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg (if using).
  • Add the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the apples without stirring.
  • Drizzle the butter: Pour the melted butter over the cake mix.
  • Make the cinnamon-sugar topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and cream of tartar (if using). Sprinkle over the cake.
  • Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Serve: Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger snickerdoodle flavor, add the cream of tartar to the topping.
  • Let the cake cool a bit before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
  • You can use store-bought apple pie filling for convenience.
