Apple Cake

This is a variation on a dump cake recipe.  I always loved the recipe, but wanted more apples...many more apples...

Apple Cake

Ingredients:

2 cans apple pie filling (21 oz)
1 package yellow cake mix
2 cups Granny Smith applies (peeled and chopped)
2 sticks butter
4 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon apple pie spice

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix cinnamon and sugar together.  Pour lemon juice over chopped apples.  Coat with about half the sugar mixture (save the remaining for the top of the cake).
Coat 9x13 pan with butter.
Pour one can of apple pie filling in pan and spread evenly.  Sprinkle with apple pie spice.
Pour chopped apples into pan and spread evenly.  Top with remaining can of apple pie filling.
Spread cake mix over apples.  Spread evenly and break up the lumps.
Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Melt 1/2 stick of butter.  Slice remaining butter into thin pats. 
Place pats of butter on top of cake mix.  Top with melted butter.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping.  This is also delicious served cold.
