Apple Pie Cake

Apple pie cake is a perfect combination of apple pie and pound cake. The two combine to make an unbelievable apple pie cake that, served warm with some vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle is a plate full of heaven.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix (15.25oz)
  • 1 Cup Water
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 Each Large Eggs
  • 2 Each Large Granny Smith Apples Tart
  • 2 Each Large Honey Crisp Apples Sweet
  • 2 teaspoons Apple Pie Spice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ Cup All Purpose Flour
  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ Cup Powdered Sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 13x9" baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Add yellow cake mix to the bowl of your stand mixer, with the water, oil and eggs and mix together for 2 minutes.
  • Pour into the greased baking dish.
  • Peel, core and cut the apples into small chunks.
  • Add the apple chunks to a mixing bowl with the lemon juice, granulated sugar and apple pie spice. Mix together evenly so all the apple chunks are coated.
  • Layer over the top of the yellow cake mixture in the baking dish.
  • In another mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar and salt and mix together.
  • Cut the butter into the flour mixture, or rub in using your fingers until you have breadcrumb size pieces.
  • Sprinkle over the top of the apple chunks, evenly.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick in the center if it's ready. There shouldn't be more than 2 crumbs on the toothpick when removing.
  • Allow to cool completely then sprinkle with the powdered sugar.

Notes

If you'd rather keep it simple, you could use brown sugar throughout and skip the granulated sugar.
I like to use both tart and sweet apples to give a good flavor packed bite.
