Pin ItEasy 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! 🙂

Ingredients
- 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.

I tried this tonight and the center came out a little gooey, wasn’t sure if that was gow it was supposed to be or not. Than I came back to this page to see what yours looks like and it did not look like me, nor did the batter.
So sorry that happened! A few more minutes in the oven should have fixed the cake if you ever run into that problem again.
If I were to make my own pie filling to add to this how many cups would I need?
Equivalent to 21 oz – or almost 3 cups.
Im a diabetic. I used a sugar free cake mix with light apple pie filling. It turned out great.
A-Mazing! Thank you!
What if I used a sugar free cake mix and made up a cooked apples instead of filling ..spouse is diabetic

Loved it! The change I made, was to add a cup of chopped walnuts. It was delicious!
Could I use gluten free cake mix
Can I use white cake mix?
The recipe calls for 18.25 oz boxed cake, I was only abe to find 15.25 oz. Does that change the amount of apple pie filling & eggs I use? Hoping to make tonight! Thank you in advance?
Hi Laura! It will still work out just fine. You might want to check it a few minutes earlier while it’s baking just to be sure it doesn’t overbake the cake. Hope that helps and enjoy the recipe! 🙂
Thank you so much!
I love this! So simple for something so yummy! I like recipes like this because I don’t always have time to bake. Recipes like this help me make something sweet for my family from time to time, or to take to a potluck or bake sale.
I use sugar free cake mixes, so apple pie filling has too much sugar…so what do you recommend…….cut up apples cooked…what do you suggest?
Walmart sells sugar free apple pie filling and also cherry pie filling
