Preheat the oven to 350°

Grease and flour a 9” x 13” cake pan.

Mix together:
 1 box of yellow cake mix - dry
 1 can of apple pie filling
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
 1 – 1 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Beat all ingredients.  Apples will still be chunky.  
Pour into cake pan.  Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the side of the pan.

Variations:
   Streusel Topping for Apple Cake can be added on top of the uncooked batter.  The streusel I use is made from Bisquick, butter, brown sugar and pecans.  The topping will add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time.  Once the cake has cooled, a powdered sugar glaze can be drizzled on.
Cherry Variation:  
Use cherry pie filling, a dash of cinnamon and 1 tsp. almond extract.
