Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 pack white cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 oz)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix Cake Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the white cake mix, ground cinnamon, sour cream, eggs, and water. Use an electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined without lumps.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking pan. Spoon the apple pie filling in dollops over the top of the batter, distributing it evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes. The cake is done when the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes to slightly set before applying glaze.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk quantity by adding one teaspoon at a time if the glaze is too thick, until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake evenly. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to let the glaze set and flavors meld.
Notes
- Use a mixer for smooth batter to avoid lumps.
- Ensure the cake is fully cool before slicing for clean cuts.
- Adjust glaze thickness by carefully adding milk to achieve desired drizzle consistency.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Can be warmed slightly before serving to enhance flavors.
