Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 box Boxed yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the apple slices into a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and flour to the apples. Toss the mixture until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the apples, covering them completely.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the surface as possible to ensure even browning.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the apple crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
