Description
Lazy Man’s Pie Apple Cobbler is an effortless dessert that combines the sweetness of apple pie filling with a buttery cake topping, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (21 oz each) apple pie filling
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add the apples: Spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add flavor: Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples. Drizzle with vanilla extract.
- Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the apple filling. Do not stir.
- Add the butter: Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
- Add sweetness: Sprinkle brown sugar over the top for a caramelized finish, if desired.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apple filling bubbles around the edges. If dry cake-mix patches remain, cover them with a little additional melted butter and bake until cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
