3 Ingredient Apple Cake – How to Make Pancakes Easy Recipes in Cake Form

I’m going to be straight with you—this 3 Ingredient Apple Cake is as close as you’ll get to magic in a mixing bowl. It’s soft, warm, and sweet in a way that reminds me of fall weekends at grandma’s—minus the lecture about turning the oven on without supervision. We’re talking about a cake that requires no stand mixer, no fancy pans, and zero stress. You toss together just three things (yes, just three!), and somehow it bakes up into a fluffy dessert that tastes like you tried way harder than you did. It’s the lazy baker’s dream, and I’m here for it. Whether you're whipping this up after dinner or pretending it's breakfast because 'apples are fruit', you’re going to love the way this cake fills the kitchen with that sweet, cinnamon-kissed scent. Plus, it works for lazy Sundays or surprise guests. Just dump, stir, and bake. Boom—cake.

Ingredients

  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (20 oz) can of apple pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, dump in the cake mix, crack in the eggs, and scoop in the entire can of apple pie filling.
  4. Stir everything together until just combined. Don’t worry if the apples break up—it's part of the charm.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool slightly before slicing. Or don’t. I won’t judge.
