Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) apple pie filling
- 1 package (17.9 oz) snickerdoodle cookie mix
- 1 packet cinnamon-sugar (included with the cookie mix)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the snickerdoodle cookie mix with the included cinnamon-sugar packet. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple pie filling.
- Add Butter and Nuts: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cookie mix. For added crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Apple Pie Filling: Use high-quality apple pie filling for the best flavor. Some brands offer variations with more cinnamon or less sugar—pick one that suits your taste.
- Customize to Your Liking: Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the snickerdoodle mix for extra warmth, or switch up the nuts with sliced almonds or skip them altogether.
- Make it Your Own: For a caramel twist, drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving. You can also substitute the snickerdoodle mix with spice cake mix for a different flavor profile.
