Apple Angel Cake

 Quick
Easy
Sweet!
2 ingredients is all you need to make this fast super sweet dessert.
Mix 1 package angel food cake mix with 1 can of apple pie filling. Add no liquid.
I first placed the apples in the bowl and chopped them into finer pieces with a kitchen scissors. Then added the mix until well combined.

Spread in a 9 X 13 sprayed pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. I used a stone baking pan and it took about 27 minutes. Do not overbake, cake will be browned on top and edges but will appear as thought it is not completely set. This is when it is done.
Bake at 350
Now....if you use a glass pan, my grandma always said for angel food lower the oven temp to 325.  If I were you I would listen to her.

I also sprinkled on some cinnamon and sugar before baking, this is optional, it is a very sweet dessert so this could put it over the top for you.  Too sweet does not exist for me so I also drizzled on a little caramel topping. We ate it cooled but warm with ice cream would be divine!
