How do you say pure heaven but purely easy?  It’s this fantastic dessert that will have them begging not just for seconds, but thirds.

Start with a single-layer cake mix, a can of apple pie filling and you can’t get simpler than that.  I buy the Jiffy brand cake mixes since it’s a convenient size for me, but you can use 1/2 of a regular double-layer cake mix if that’s what you have.
I used almonds, but any nuts you have on hand will do–or none at all if you are not into nuts.
Serve with real whipped cream, or just cream poured over the top.  Also is terrific served a la mode.
This is a real winner.UPDATE:  I just recently made this and didn’t melt the butter but cut the butter into the cake mix as you would pie crust or crumbs.  MUCH better!!

    Apple Pie filling? I'm german, not sure what that means. You take the pie of an apple?

  2. Judith Hanneman says

    Hi George–here in the USA it comes in a can and it's partially cooked apples in a thickened juice. You could use fresh apples in this if you wanted. Just slice them thinly and sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice. I was going to answer you in German, but my written German isn't so good anymore. But fresh apples will work in this.
