Too Cool Apple Cake

Too Cool Apple Cake

3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1 (18.25 ounce) box spice cake, plus the ingredients to make the cake
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
Whipped Topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In 13x9 inch baking pan, sprayed with cooking spray, arrange marshmallow in the bottom.  Prepare cake according to package directions.  spread cake batter over marshmallows.  Spoon apple pie filling on top.  Bake 50 to 55 minutes.  Serve with whipped topping.


When people know you write cookbooks, they will often share one of their favorite recipe with you.  That is how this delicious cake recipe came to be in my kitchen.  Before I put a recipe in one of my cookbooks I always try it first.  This cake made it into the, MY KIND OF COOKING COOKBOOK.  The cake is very moist and full of flavor. 

This is a fun cake for kids to help make.  It is almost like a magic trick.  You put the marshmallows on the bottom of the pan and the apple pie filling on the top and as it bakes they switch places!  Just make sure the kids know the marshmallows will heat up and melt when they make there way to the top.  You don't want your kids to be disappointed like my niece was.  She thought the marshmallows would come to the top and toast like a marshmallow over the fire.  The disappointment turned in to happiness with her first bite of the cake.
