Ingredients

2 cans whole berry cranberry sauce (14 oz)
1 can apple pie filling (about 21-ounce)
1 box yellow or white cake mix (15.25 oz)
12 tbsp cold butter (1 ½) sticks (plus more for baking dish)
Vanilla ice cream (optional!)

Instructions

Place the oven rack in the middle and preheat to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Pour in 2 cans (14 ounces each) of whole berry cranberry sauce and 1 can (about 21 ounces) of apple pie filling into the baking dish, then mix. Layer in the following order without stirring: Sprinkle an even layer of 1 box (15.25 ounces) of cake mix. Cut 1 1/2 sticks of cold unsalted butter into thin slices and evenly arrange them over the cake mix, covering the entire surface.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until it's golden brown, bubbling, and a crispy crust starts to form. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then serve with vanilla ice cream if you like.
