Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 80kcal
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 (19 ounce) box Krusteaz Fat Free Apple Cinnamon Muffin Mix (see note)
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-10” pie plate or a 9x9” baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir muffin mix and water in a large bowl until a thick batter forms. Fold in the apple pack from the box. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
- Stir the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter in the pan.
- Bake cake for 18-24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean in the center of the cake.
- As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, make the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream in a small bowl until smooth. The glaze will be thick. Poke several small holes in the top of the cake using a toothpick, then evenly spread the glaze all over the top of the cake. Let the cake cool. As it cools the glaze will harden.
- Serve slightly warm or room temperature. Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Notes
It seems that Krusteaz no longer makes the Fat-Free Apple Muffin Mix. If you happen to find it, you can use it. Otherwise do this:
- Use another apple muffin mix (Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, and Pillsbury all have one, along with some other random brands). To prepare: omit the water and prepare as directed for muffins. Add the batter to the pan in step 2 and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar in step 3. Continue as directed in recipe.
