This apple pecan crumble cake is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of apples with the crunch of pecans, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, apple pie filling, and eggs. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.
Mix the batter just until combined to avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly for uniform baking.
In a small mixing bowl, mix the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and softened butter until crumbly.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
Distribute the topping evenly for a consistent crunch.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the cake a few minutes before the suggested time to avoid overbaking.
Allow the cake to cool before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream.
Let the cake cool completely to set the crumble topping.
