Equipment

  • 1 Sheet Pan greased
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Electric Mixer

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups diced apples
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Peel, core, and dice the apples. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Set your oven to 350°F and grease a sheet pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until smooth. Fold in the diced apples and cinnamon.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serving

  • Let the cake cool before cutting into bars. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.

Storage

  • Place the bars in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate them.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use room temperature ingredients for a consistent batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender. Cool completely before slicing. Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute the apples with pears for a different flavor. How to Serve: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Storage & Freshness: Keep in an airtight container to maintain moisture. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare and store the batter in the fridge a day ahead, then bake fresh when needed.
