Apple Coffee Cake With Apple Pie Filling
A soft vanilla coffee cake layered with apple pie filling and a thick cinnamon crumble, starting with a boxed cake mix!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter divided
- 13.25 oz box vanilla cake mix
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 21 oz apple pie filling
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for optional glaze
- 2 tbsp milk for optional glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
- Melt 3/4 cup of the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbly, then pour it into the dry mixture and stir until crumbly. (This creates a deeper brown butter flavor.) Chill in the refrigerator while you make the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk the cake mix, 4 tablespoons melted butter, oil, vanilla, eggs, and sour cream until smooth.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Spoon the apple pie filling over the center, leaving a little batter showing around the edges.
- Sprinkle the chilled crumble over the top. You should have a variety of crumble sizes.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Optional finish: Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together and drizzle over the cake.
