Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
- 2 cups fresh apples, peeled and chopped (about 2 medium apples)
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Apples: Peel and chop the apples into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the cake.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, chopped apples, and eggs. Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended to form the batter.
- Pour Batter Into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
- Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can use any variety of apples you prefer; tart apples like Granny Smith create a nice contrast to the sweet cake.
- For extra flavor, try adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- If you prefer a glaze, drizzle powdered sugar mixed with a little milk over the cooled cake.
- Make sure to grease the pan well to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- Storage: Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
