Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 yellow cake mix
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 4 eggs (slightly beaten)
Fresh Produce:
- 1 medium apple (chopped)
- 1 can apple pie filling (mashed)
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and meticulously coat two loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray or butter to guarantee effortless cake extraction after baking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine yellow cake mix, self-rising flour, and ground cinnamon using a whisk until the dry ingredients are uniformly blended.
- Incorporate slightly beaten eggs and mashed apple pie filling into the dry mixture, stirring gently until the batter achieves a consistent texture and the ingredients are fully integrated.
- Delicately fold chopped fresh apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution to create delightful apple pockets throughout the loaf.
- Carefully portion the batter equally between the prepared loaf pans, creating smooth, level surfaces.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon-sugar mixture atop each loaf to enhance flavor and create a delectable caramelized crust.
- Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges completely clean.
- Remove loaves from the oven and allow them to rest in the pans for 10-15 minutes, enabling gradual cooling and structural stabilization.
- Gently transfer the loaves to a wire cooling rack, permitting complete cooling before slicing to ensure clean, precise cuts.
