Ingredients

• 21 oz can Apple pie filling (1 standard can; can substitute with other pie fillings (cherry, blueberry, pumpkin pie filling, etc.))
• 15.25 oz box Yellow cake mix (1 standard box; can use spice cake mix for extra fall flavor)
• 1.5 sticks Unsalted butter (Melted (equals 12 tablespoons or 170g))
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional) (For extra fall flavor; sprinkle to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 350°F

2. Add apple pie filling

   Open the 21 oz can of apple pie filling and pour it into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly. If apple slices are too large, cut them into bite-sized pieces directly in the dish.

   Time: PT2M

3. Optional: Sprinkle cinnamon

   Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon evenly over the apple pie filling for extra flavor.

   Time: PT1M

4. Add cake mix

   Open the box of yellow cake mix (about 15.25 oz) and sprinkle it evenly over the apple pie filling. Use a fork to gently spread and break up any clumps, making sure the entire surface is covered.

   Time: PT2M

5. Optional: Add walnuts

   Sprinkle about 1/2 cup chopped walnuts evenly over the cake mix for added crunch.

   Time: PT1M

6. Melt butter

   Cut 1.5 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter into pieces and place in a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until fully melted.

   Time: PT2M

7. Drizzle butter

   Slowly drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the cake mix, trying to moisten as much of the dry mix as possible.

   Time: PT1M

8. Bake

   Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.

   Time: PT45M

   Temperature: 350°F

9. Rest and serve

   Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls and serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream.
