Ingredients:

Cake:

• 1 package white cake mix (for 2 layers)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 (21 oz) can apple pie filling

Glaze:

• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1-1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, ground cinnamon, sour cream, eggs, and water.
   • Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until it is smooth and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Prepare the Baking Dish:
   • Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
4. Assemble the Cake:
   • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
   • Spoon the apple pie filling over the top of the cake batter, ensuring the entire surface is covered. You can use a spatula to gently spread the filling if needed.
5. Bake:
   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

1. Cool the Cake:
   • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking dish. This should take about 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more as needed to reach your desired thickness. The glaze should be thick enough to stick to the cake but thin enough to drizzle easily.
3. Glaze the Cake:
   • Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top of the cake. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to control the drizzle.

1. Serve:
   • Cut the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your Cinnamon Apple Glaze Cake!

Tips:

1. Adding Crunch:
   • For an extra layer of texture, consider adding a streusel topping before baking. Mix together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter until crumbly, and sprinkle it over the apple pie filling before baking.
2. Enhanced Flavor:
   • For a deeper cinnamon flavor, you can add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the cake mix.
3. Serving Suggestions:

1. This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It’s also delicious with a warm caramel sauce drizzled over the top.

1. Storage:
   • Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you prefer, you can refrigerate the cake, but bring it to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

This Cinnamon Apple Glaze Cake is an easy and impressive dessert that’s sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy the sweet, spicy flavors and the moist, tender crumb of this delicious cake!
