Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I always find this step helps set the stage for the magic to come. Next, pour the two cans of apple pie filling into the bottom of your greased 9×13-inch baking dish. I like to give it a gentle spread with the back of my spoon to ensure an even layer. The sweet scent of apples hits me instantly—so comforting! Now sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the apples, making sure to cover everything. I find this simple step creates that perfect crumbly topping we all love. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
