Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1-21 oz can apple pie filling
  • Icing:
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray a 13x9 in pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and shortening with for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, baking soda and salt and beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well until combined. Gradually at the flour and beat well after each addition.
  • Remove 1 1/2 cups of the dough and save it for the topping. Spread the remaining dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from oven and spread the pie filling over the cake to cover the entire thing. Using a large spoon, dollop large mounds of the reserved dough on top of the pie filling. Bake for 30 more minutes or until the dough is golden brown on the top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • While the cake is cooling, make the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, almond extract and heavy cream. Add more cream if necessary to reach desired consistency. Drizzle icing over the cake and allow to set, about 10 minutes. Cut in to bars and serve cold or warm with vanilla ice cream.
