Ingredients
Scale
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup apple pie filling (or peach pie filling)
1/2 cup caramel sauce (optional, for extra gooeyness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the dry yellow cake mix, melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Mix with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This forms your cobbler base and topping.
Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This is your base layer.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar, apple pie filling, caramel sauce (if using), and vanilla extract until combined.
Spread the apple pie filling mixture evenly over the crust layer in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining one-third of the crumb mixture over the filling. If you are using nuts, sprinkle them over the top layer now.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute the yellow cake mix with a snickerdoodle cake mix if you find one.
If you skip the caramel sauce, the cobbler will still be delicious, but slightly less gooey.
This dessert pairs well with a simple vanilla ice cream scoop. It is a great alternative to complex meal planning when you need a quick sweet fix.
