Ingredients
1 box cake mix (any flavor: chocolate, vanilla, or spice work well)
3 large eggs
1 can (21 oz) pie filling (choose your favorite: cherry, apple, blueberry, etc.)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and pie filling.
Stir with a spatula or mix with a hand mixer until all ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the fruit pieces intact.
Step 3: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Serve as is, or top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
