Cake Mix Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 cups chopped fresh apples
  • 3 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cake.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, chopped fresh apples, and eggs. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  3. Prepare Pan: Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
  4. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and spread it out smoothly.
  5. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to slice.

Notes

  • You can add cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warm flavor.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweet cake.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
