Ingredients
For Cake:
- 15.25 ounce box white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 21 ounce can Lucky Leaf apple fruit filling
For Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Mix Cake Batter: In the bowl of an electric mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, sour cream, whole milk, apple pie spice, and vanilla bean paste. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well blended and smooth.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared cake batter evenly into the sprayed 9×13 baking dish, spreading it to the edges for uniform thickness.
- Add Apple Pie Filling: Spoon the 21-ounce can of Lucky Leaf apple fruit filling evenly over the top of the batter, distributing it gently but thoroughly.
- Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the cake is fully cooked, set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Glaze: While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla bean paste in a bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more milk if too thick or more powdered sugar if too thin.
- Glaze and Cool: Once the cake is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Allow the cake to cool further before serving to let the glaze set.
Notes
- Using a prepared cake mix simplifies the process and speeds up baking time.
- Ensure the apple pie filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
- You can substitute vanilla bean paste with vanilla extract if unavailable.
- For a thicker glaze, add less milk; for a thinner glaze, add more gradually.
- This cake is best served slightly warm but is also delicious at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
