3 Ingredient Apple Pie Cake

INGREDIENTS:

1 can apple filling

4 large eggs

1 box yellow cake mix

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your oven is at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake, which is crucial for achieving the perfect texture in your cake. Next, take a 9×13 inch rectangular baking dish and grease it thoroughly with baking spray. This step is important to prevent the cake from sticking to the dish, making it easier to serve and clean up afterward.

Step 2: Mix the Eggs and Apple Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the 4 large eggs and the can of apple filling. Using an electric mixer, blend these ingredients until the apple filling breaks up slightly. This step helps to distribute the apple pieces evenly throughout the batter, ensuring that every bite is filled with delicious apple goodness. The eggs not only help to bind the ingredients together but also add richness and moisture to the cake.

Step 3: Incorporate the Cake Mix

Once the eggs and apple filling are well combined, it’s time to add the yellow cake mix. Gradually add the cake mix to the bowl, stirring gently to combine. It’s important to mix until there are no visible flour chunks, but be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to a dense, heavy cake, whereas a light mix will keep your cake airy and fluffy. This step transforms the mixture into a smooth batter that is ready to bake.

Step 4: Transfer and Bake

Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. You’ll know the cake is done when the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This baking time allows the cake to rise properly, developing a tender crumb and a lightly crisp crust …
