Stove top Apple Pie Filling Cake

1 recipe stove top apple pie filling
1/4 C soft butter
1/3 C sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
1 1/2 C flour
1/4 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
1 1/2 t baking powder
2/3 C orange juice

Cream butter and sugar in stand mixer for 3 minutes.  Add egg and vanilla and cream for another minute. Mix flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder in separate bowl.  Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in stand mixer.  Add stove top apple pie filling and blend together.  While mixing, stream in 2/3 C orange juice. Mix the rest by hand.  Pour into greased 9 inch pie pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes uncovered, then 15 minutes covered with a piece of aluminum foil.  Let cool 30 minutes-1 hour before slicing.  Serve room temperature or warm with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and/or vanilla ice cream.

FYI: I am so happy to have found this homemade version of apple pie filling.  It is a straightforward, effortless recipe.  Versatile, delicious, and a lot healthier than the canned version, I want to always have this on hand now.  I couldn't think of a better way to use it than in an apple cake for Cake Fridays!
