Last week Donna K. requested a recipe for "...Apple Cake that was on the back
of Wilderness Apple Pie Filling Can back in the 70CÇÖs..."

We had a huge response! Here are a few - thanks to everyone who contributed!

From Jean, Ellie D., Pam L.:
WILDERNESS CAKE
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
2/3 c. oil
2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves or nutmeg
1 can Wilderness or Thank You brand pie filling (peach, apple & cherry are all
good)
Nuts are optional

By hand (no mixer) mix eggs, sugar and oil. Add flour and soda. Add pie
filling.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  This recipe can be prepared in
the cake pan itself.

From Dr. Ladybug:
I found this online and I am hoping that this is the recipe for which Donna is
searching.

Here's a recipe that a friend of mine (when I was growing up) used and loved
for camping.  They copied it off a can of Wilderness Pie Filling back in the
1970's.

1 can Wilderness Pie Filling (any flavor) 1 box Jiffy cake mix (white or
yellow) 1/3 cup instant (or 1 min) oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 stick butter or margarine

Pour pie filling into ungreased pan.  Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and then
spread dry over the pie filling.  Melt butter and pour melted butter to cover
dry mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Note: if you use Apple pie
filling you may wish to include 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon nutmeg. 
Enjoy warm or fully cooled.

NOTE:
I find the pie filling sweet enough right out of the can and you may wish to
adjust the sweetness to suit your individual or family tastes.  Jiffy cake
mixes can be difficult to find (small blue and white boxes), so if you cannot
find them a regular cake mix may be substituted, but remember to use only 1/2
of the box contents.

From Marlin G., Sheila R., Lynn C. and Stacy B.:

3 cans Wilderness apple pie filling 1 box spice cake mix
2 sticks butter
1 c. nuts (pecans or walnuts)

In 9 x 13 inch pan, spread apple pie filling evenly over bottom of pan. 
Sprinkle cake mix evenly over apples.  Sprinkle with nuts.  Cut butter into
small patties - lay on top.  Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.

from their past.  Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to
help people who are looking for lost recipes from their past.  If you submit a
