What If I Don’t Have A 9×13-inch Baking Dish?

The baking time will be different. Bake the smaller cakes or muffins until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
What Other Filling Can I Use?
You can use any other pie filling you like like cherry, blueberry, pear, or peach.
Can I Use A Different Flavor Cake Mix?
Absolutely! You can use a combination of chocolate cake mix with cherry pie filling, vanilla cake mix with peach pie filling, or the combination of your choice!
Tips for making the BEST Apple Pie Coffee Cake:
- Using a whisk to make the batter ensures there are no lumps in it.
- When adding the apple pie filling to the batter, make sure you do it evenly so every bite of cake has some apples in it.
- If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, and if you feel it is too thin, add a bit more sugar.
