This simple and easy apple pie filling coffee cake is a delicious way to use apple fruit filling. It’s the perfect semi-homemade dessert or breakfast cake of your dreams!

Today I am teaming up once again with the fabulous Lucky Leaf to tell you all about their apple fruit filling!

Do you remember last year when I made my Apple Pie Baked French Toast? Well, I’m giving you another easy and delicious way to use up apple fruit filling.

This apple pie filling coffee cake is a great way to end the day or an extra sweet way to start the day! I took white cake mix jazzed it up with spices and topped it with a whole can of Lucky Leaf apple fruit filling.

Then I glazed it with a simple powdered sugar glaze to finish it off.

This cake is the perfect fall, winter, and holiday cake. Plus, you’ll love how easy it is to whip up and you’re guests won’t even know it’s semi-homemade.

Ingredients for apple pie filling coffee cake

• White cake mix – I’m using a basic white cake mix for this recipe. You could also use a boxed spice, vanilla, or yellow cake mix in its place.
• Eggs – This helps bring moisture to the cake.
• Sour cream – Brings a tang and lusciousness to the cake.
• Whole milk – This blend of spices can be found in the spice aisle of the grocery store. 
• Apple pie spice – This blend of spices can be found in the spice aisle of the grocery store. Typically it includes cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cardamom.
• Vanilla bean paste – A big flavor boost for the cake. If you don’t have vanilla bean paste try vanilla extract.
• Apple fruit filling – The apple pie fruit filling can be found in the baking aisle of the grocery store.

How to make apple pie coffee cake

This cake is so easy to make you’ll be happy you stumbled upon this recipe!

1. In a large mixing bowl add white cake mix, eggs, sour cream, apple pie spice, and vanilla bean paste.
2. Mix together for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. This batter will be a bit thicker than a typical boxed mix.
3. Add to a 9×13 baking dish and top with apple fruit filling.
4. Bake, cool, glaze, and devour!

Using canned fruit filling

Since I’m back to collaborating with Lucky Leaf, I wanted to highlight the perks of incorporating canned fruit filling into your holiday baking.

Not only does it save time, but it also makes the hectic holiday baking even easier!

One thing I love most about Lucky Leaf’s fruit fillings is that they contain no high-fructose corn syrup and that each can is full of thick apple slices.

What’s remarkable is that they operate as a cooperative, meaning their company is owned by the very fruit farmers who contribute to their top-notch products.

And because this recipe is taking the semi-homemade route it’s the perfect fit for apple pie fruit filling. It gives just the right amount of moisture and added pie flavor to this cake.

Variations and adaptations

Love all things apple but have other fruit fillings on hand?

Well, you’re in luck! This recipe works perfectly with cherry, peach, or even blueberry fruit filling.

• Pair ground ginger with peach fruit filling
• Use cherry fruit filling with almond extract and sliced almonds sprinkled on top
• Try butter cake mix with the blueberry fruit filling to mimic the flavors of a blueberry muffin
• Bring in even more flavor by using a spice cake mix with apple fruit filling

Storage and leftovers

This cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The reason you need to store this cake in the fridge is the apple fruit filling will bring in a lot of moisture so it risks going bad if it sits on the counter.
