- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups powdered sugar

- ½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the crust.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then blend in powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the apple filling and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still slightly gooey in the center.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
