Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the chocolate cake mix, eggs, apple pie filling, and water together until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a 9 x 13 inch cake pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve plain or with whipped cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a splash of espresso to the batter. If you don't have a chocolate cake mix, you can use a vanilla mix and add cocoa powder to taste. You can also substitute the apple pie filling with other fruit fillings like cherry or blueberry for a different twist.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it by serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Light Icebox Cake for a delightful dessert spread. Consider garnishing with chocolate shavings or caramel drizzle for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for about a week. To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or place the whole cake in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore its moist texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade apple pie filling instead of canned?
Absolutely! Homemade apple pie filling will add a personal touch to the cake. Just ensure it's well-cooked and not too watery to maintain the cake's texture.
What if I want to make this cake gluten-free?
You can use a gluten-free chocolate cake mix as a substitute. Just be sure to check the ingredients for any additional binding agents needed, as gluten-free flours can behave differently.
Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter?
Yes! Chopped nuts or chocolate chips can be added to the batter for extra texture and flavor. Just fold them in gently after mixing the main ingredients to ensure even distribution.
