2-ingredient Apple Angel Food Cake



Yes, it can be done! Another tested 2 ingredient recipe that turned out oh so tasty!

You may remember that I have already tried the 2 ingredient brownies, which were quite good.  

I have also made the 2 ingredient lemon bars, but my pics were lost on my crashed computer.  They were also pretty good.

So now....the 2 ingredient apple cake!

SO EASY!

1 can pie filling (any flavor, I used apple)
1 box of Angel Food Cake Mix
nuts (optional)

Mix can of pie filling with dry cake mix.  Stir until blended.  Pour in a greased/sprayed 9x13 baking dish.  Top with walnuts if desired - making this a THREE ingredient cake :)  Bake at 350 until done.  *I saw on a pin somewhere that it should be baked for 20 minutes.  This was not long enough in my oven.  It took at least 25-30, and the middle of mine still wasn't done, and my oven usually cooks faster than the recommended times.  Next time I will def. cook it longer and make sure to check the center.  Mine also 'deflated' by the next day, but that could also be because I didn't cook it long enough.  However, the flavor was really good, especially since I was craving something sweet like a mad woman.

This is a great little recipe to have tucked away when you need to throw something together in a hurry, looking for something low fat (definitely NOT low in sugar however), or just have a sugar craving.  You can use any flavor pie filling you want, so you can make lots of variations.  I have also found a 'no sugar added' pie filling, so that would cut down on the calories as well.  Now, if I could just find a chocolate recipe with no sugar, no carbs, no fat, but full flavor.  Yes, it IS nice in my dream world ;)

  1. I love that there are only two ingredients!

    It's hit or miss on finding the sugar free pie filling - the best place I've found it is at Big Lot's of all places!

    Hope you had a wonderful Momma Day!

  6. Just made this and I liked it as did my kids! My husband said it was too cakey and needed frosting. I thought it was perfect for breakfast. I also had to bake it for about 30-35min.

    1. I'm glad you all liked it! It's so easy and a quick sugar fix :) However, the frosting made me think that a little glaze drizzled on top would probably be pretty good! Your hubs may be onto something!

  10. I made this last weekend. I made a streusel topping that I added about 1/2 way through baking. I used flour, brown sugar, butter and finely chopped pecans. It was very good, more like a coffee cake. Going to try it next with blueberry pie filling.

  12. Instant Chocolate Pudding
    substute Stevia for the honey and WAlla Suger Free choc pudding

    This is a delicious, no-bake, and dairy-free chocolate pudding that is quick and easy-to-make. Nobody will guess that it's made with avocados!
    Ingredients:
    2 ripe avocados
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 cup cocoa
    1 tsp vanilla
    Dash salt
    Directions:
    Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour into cups and refrigerate.

    *If you want have a thinner pudding, just add some almond milk into the food processer when its running. Keep adding until you get the consistancy you want.

  13. Is that a 16 oz. can? Equivalent to 2 Cups? I want to use my own apples from my tree-dislike canned apple pie filling when I can make my own. The reason why it deflates is that cake mix(mostly egg whites) need to be whipped as the only leavening and adding apples because they are heavy will deflate the egg white. Deflation could also be caused by not being baked long enough-the egg whites, the leavening, need to "crawl" up the edges of the pan and too much moisture could make a cake fall. Baking is pretty much an exact science. Ingredients need to be used in certain proportions for a recipes to come out successful. It's not like a salad where you can add and subtract ingredients.

    1. Awesome that you have your own apple tree! Apple season was terrible where I live this year :( I believe it is a 21 ounce can.

    2. They have angel food cake mixes that only require water to make them. That is what I used for one I made with crushed pineapple but I don't think I baked it long enough as it too deflated.

  14. This sounds yummy! I have done the same with crushed pineapple and it was delicious. Can't wait to try it with apple.

  15. I tried this today but added about 1/4 cup of water. The mix was to dry, could have been the apple filling I used,. But it turned out great. I will be making this again....and again.....and again!!
