  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the apple pie filling in the dish and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon.
  3. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the filling without stirring.
  4. Melt the butter and pour it evenly over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges.
  6. Let the cake rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the most even topping, pour the melted butter over as much of the dry cake mix as possible. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. For a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free butter and check that the cake mix is dairy-free.
