Apple Pie Cake

Apple Pie Cake! Say what? Yep, Apple Pie Cake is exactly that using apple pie filling in a cake. I had one jar left of homemade apple pie filling in the pantry, and thought why not add it to a cake?

Similar to many other cakes with a filling, a little batter goes in the pan first, topped with the apple pie filling, then more batter and lastly an easy crumb topping.

Oh my goodness, so yummy, and so easy! Really easy, and no mixer required. Simply mix the batter in a bowl with a spoon, stirring until batter is smooth. See what I mean? So easy!! Don't just serve it for dessert, this Apple Pie Cake makes a great breakfast treat with a nice cup of coffee or tea.

Don't have any apple pie filling? This would be amazing with any pie filling you like; blueberry, cherry, strawberry, peach and more.
