Ingredients

15.25 ounces butter cake mix
42 ounces apple pie filling 2 cans
8 tablespoons salted butter
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice fresh is best
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple pie spice or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray nonstick cooking spray into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
In a large bowl (or directly in the baking dish), combine apple pie filling, lemon juice, vanilla extract and apple spice. Stir gently to combine.
Evenly spread the apple pie mixture onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the top of the filling.
Use a spatula to gently press the cake mix down into the pie filling a bit, but not fully combining it. You want the cake mix to absorb a bit of the liquid from the apple pie mixture.
Slice the butter into 16 pieces and arrange evenlyl over the top of the cake mix.
Bake for approximately 35 to 45 minute, or until golden brown. After about 25 minutes check on the cobbler and if the top is looking dry, use the spatula to press the dry bits of cake mix down into the filling and continue baking until light golden brown on top.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
