Easy Apple Cake – Only 3 Ingredients!

Are y’all ready for some Fall baking?! I am!! I have been dreaming about pumpkin and apple treats for weeks now. As you may have already noticed from some of my recent posts, I have given in and started baking. Of course, it’s still hotter than you know what here in Phoenix … nevermind that though … let’s do some baking!

I wanted to share this Easy Apple Cake last year, but it’s one of those recipes I never got around to making.  It only has THREE ingredients and it’s perfect for Fall baking! I like to make it look a little fancier with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, but that it totally optional and up to you! I’ve linked my Homemade Sweetened Whipped Cream in the recipe below in case you would like a homemade version. A scoop of cinnamon or vanilla ice cream would be great also! Of course, it’s great by itself also! 🙂

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (see note), 18.25 oz.
  • 1 can apple pie filling, 21 oz.
  • 4 eggs
  • Sweetened Whipped Cream, optional
  • Cinnamon, optional

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined. The mixer will help break up the apple pieces. Pour into the prepared dish.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean. Allow cake to cool slightly before serving.Serve with sweetened whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

  • Just a note about this recipe – You will NOT need the ingredients listed on the cake mix box. Just use the cake mix, pie filling and eggs.

    Can I make this in a bundt pan? If so, does that change the baking time?

    1. Jamie says:

      I have never tried it that way. I’m sure you can – and yes, adjust the baking time accordingly.

  2. Joyce Greene says:

    I am going to try pineapple pie filling and see how that turns out.

    1. Teresa says:

      Do angel food cake and a can of crushed pineapple. Bake 30 mins at 350. Then layer on cool whip and then sliced strawberries. It’s the best!
