Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling:
- 2 cans (20 ounces / 567 grams) apple pie filling
Cookie Mix:
- 1 package (17.9 ounces / 507 grams) snickerdoodle cookie mix
- 1 cinnamon-sugar packet (included with cookie mix)
Additions and Toppings:
- ½ cup (113 grams / 4 ounces) melted butter
- ½ cup (57 grams / 2 ounces) chopped pecans or walnuts
- Whipped cream (for serving)
- Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light layer of cooking spray.
- Create a foundational layer by carefully distributing apple pie filling across the entire bottom of the prepared dish, ensuring an even spread.
- Combine the snickerdoodle cookie mix with the accompanying cinnamon-sugar packet in a separate mixing bowl, blending thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
- Gently cascade the seasoned cookie mixture over the apple pie filling, aiming for complete and consistent coverage across the surface.
- Introduce melted butter by drizzling it uniformly across the cookie layer, allowing it to penetrate and enhance the overall texture.
- For enhanced crunch and depth, optionally scatter chopped pecans or walnuts across the top of the cake.
- Transfer the assembled cake to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until the surface achieves a rich golden-brown color and the filling develops a bubbling perimeter.
- After removing from the oven, allow the cake to rest and slightly cool, which helps stabilize its structure.
- Serve the warm cake accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a delicate dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Swap out gluten-containing cookie mix with a gluten-free alternative for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cookie mix for a more complex, warming flavor profile.
- Toast nuts before sprinkling to enhance their natural oils and create a deeper, richer crunch.
- Consider reducing butter amount by half to create a lighter, less dense dessert option for health-conscious individuals.
