Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can (425g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 14 ounce can (396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 20 ounce can apple pie filling
  • 1 approx 15 ounce box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (113g) pecans , coarsely chopped
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (see note)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13” pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. Pour into the bottom of the prepared 9x13” pan.
  • Spread apple pie filling over the top of the pumpkin.
  • Sprinkle entire cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin and apples. Sprinkle with pecans.
  • Slice butter into thin strips and place in an even grid all over the cake.
  • Bake for 44-50 minutes until the center is set and it is golden brown around the edges.

Notes

  • Be sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
  • You can use regular or fat-free sweetened condensed milk but be sure NOT to use evaporated milk.
  • If you can find it, use a spice cake mix for even more flavor!
  • You can omit the apple pie filling if you don't want to add it.
  • For the butter, I find it easiest to slice thin when it's been frozen. Or freeze it and then grate it and sprinkle it evenly over the top.
  • Check the oven after about 20 minutes and if you notice any spots where the butter is not covering do a little mix with a wooden spoon (otherwise the powder will stay dry). This is why it's important to evenly spread your butter!
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
  • Serving suggestions: plain, with whipped cream, or ice cream.
