- Pour yellow cake mix into large bowl.
- Cut in cold butter until cake mix is crumbly.
- Add eggs and stir just until moistened.
- Drop cake mix by spoonfuls over pie filling.
- Bake at 375 for one hour (cover with foil if topping becomes too brown before fully baked).
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!
