Ingredients
1 (20 ounce) can apple pie filling
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
3 tablespoons butter, melted (add this at the end)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups milk
½ cup butter, softened
3 eggs
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
¼ cup hot water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 pan thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix the apple pie filling with cinnamon and set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the brown sugar and nuts. Do not add the melted butter yet; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, milk, softened butter, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the apple pie filling evenly over the batter. Spread half of the brown sugar mixture evenly over the pie filling.
Pour the remaining batter over the top, then spoon the remaining apple pie filling evenly over the batter.
Mix the melted butter into the remaining brown sugar mixture and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the cake.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 20 minutes before adding the glaze.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the hot water until the glaze is smooth and reaches your desired consistency. Add more water if necessary. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Notes
Great to use fresh apples for a better texture
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake tender
Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even baking
Let the cake cool before slicing to prevent crumbling
Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top enhances flavor
