Equipment
- 9x13 baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 ounce box Spice Cake Mix or yellow cake
- 2 teaspoons Apple Pie Spice
- 1/4 cup Caramel Sauce divided
- 2 21 ounce cans Apple Pie Filling
- 1/2 cup Butter cold
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish or a 9x9 baking pan for a thicker cake (or even a 12-inch sized iron skillet).
- In a large bowl whisk the spice cake mix (or yellow cake mix) and apple pie spice together until well combined.
- Pour the apple pie filling into the prepared baking dish and drizzle some caramel sauce on top. You can mix it together with the apple pie filling or leave it as is.
- Sprinkle the cake mix on top of the apple pie filling and try and cover all the apple filling in the edges. As it bakes some of the filling will bubble up around the edges as it does in this pecan pie cobbler.
- You have two options when it comes to adding butter to the cake mix topping. You can melt it and pour it on top, which is the method I prefer, or you can toss it with the cake mix first or cut it into the cake mix using a pastry cutter, which is shown in the picture.
- Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until the topping beings to turn a crispy golden brown and some of the apple filling is bubbling up against the sides.
Notes
- Serve this cake warm and a la mode. Scoop some vanilla ice cream on top and drizzle it with extra caramel sauce.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge. You can place it into an air-tight container which will give you about 6 days of freshness or just wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or foil, which will keep it good for about 5 days.
- To reheat the cake. Set the oven to 350º F and heat the cake until warmed throughout. The timing will depend upon how much cake you need to reheat. You can also warm it in the microwave.
