Ingredients You'll Need

Gather these simple ingredients to create your masterpiece:

Ingredients	Quantity
Yellow cake mix	1 box (standard size)
Apple pie filling	1 can (21 oz)
Large eggs	4
Self-rising flour	1 cup
Vanilla extract	2 tsp
Ground cinnamon	3 tsp
Apple (peeled & finely chopped)	1

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray. This ensures your bread will release perfectly after baking.

Step 2: Create the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, self-rising flour, and cinnamon. Whisk them together to remove any lumps. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. For the apple pie filling, you can give it a rough chop or a slight mash with a fork to break up the larger apple pieces—this helps distribute the flavor evenly. Add the pie filling and the freshly chopped apple to the bowl.

Step 3: Mix to Perfection
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a uniform, thick batter. Don’t overmix; just ensure everything is well-blended.

Step 4: Pan and Bake
Divide the batter evenly between your two prepared loaf pans. Use a spatula to smooth the tops for an even bake. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes. The bread is done when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the loaves to cool in their pans for about 15 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This waiting period is crucial for the perfect texture!
