Servings
12 bars
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (your choice of flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can pie filling (your choice of flavor)
- 1/2 cup nuts (optional)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 additional egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🌡️ This ensures your oven is nice and hot when you’re ready to bake.
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, 2 eggs, pie filling, and nuts (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. This mixture will be thick and sticky, but that’s okay!
- Spread the Batter: Grease a jelly-roll pan (15x10x1 inch) generously. Spread the batter evenly in the pan, using a spatula to smooth it out. Make sure it’s evenly distributed for even baking.
- Bake the Bars: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing! 🍰
- Prepare the Frosting: While the bars are baking, it’s time to make the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 egg until smooth and creamy.
- Cool and Frost: Once the bars are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the bars. The creamy frosting is the perfect complement to the sweet, fruity bars.
- Cut into Bars: Finally, cut the frosted cake into bars. You can make them as large or as small as you like. Serve and enjoy!
