I made this once for company. Now it is a must have for my gests. I have even given it as gifts and got all sort of compliments, including "give me this for every occassion" It is easy and a no brainer.

Made this tonight and we loved it. I was leery about using such few ingredients but it was tasty and moist and I will be making this again as it is sooooooo easy.

This is great. I have been making it for years. Also good with the cherry pie filling. to make a smaller amount you can use 1 can of filling in a 9 in pie dish use 1 box of the Jiffy cake mix and butter. YUM

I made this with a lemon cake mix and cherry pie filling = YUM! After it cooled I just sprinkled it with powdered sugar. I took it to a potluck and it was great!

I make homemade apple pie in a jar and was searching online for a cake recipe. I used this recipe with the addition of adding Smucker's caramel sauce. I put half of the batter in the pan; drizzled some caramel sauce; put the rest of the batter in the pan. When I took it out of the oven I drizzled more on top to form a thin layer and served it with cool whip. It was a great success! very moist and easy when you are limited on time to make a great dessert.

This cake was so dry nobody would eat it. It was awful. Shouldn't there be some oil or water in the recipe?

A followup: We tried this with cherry pie filling too - and it was very tasty. Don't use a mixer with the cherry filling (unless a pink cake is what you are going for). We carefully swirled the filling through the cake mix. We also omitted the cinnamon/sugar layer.

This recipe is incredibly easy and great for a last minute dessert. The directions call for using a mixer to blend the ingredients which will mix the apple filling into the mix more - but if you want larger chunks of apple, just blend the ingredients with a spoon and bake as directed. The result is a moist, not-too-sweet cake. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or even maple syrup. You can use apple pie spice in place of the cinnamon sugar if you wish.

I frosted this cake with store bought cream cheese frosting. I enjoyed the frosting more than the cake. It wasn't horrible, but it was "just cake". I made this three days ago and there is still half left. This recipe was very quick though and might be good for a pot luck.
