Description

This Apple Dump Cake is a simple and delicious dessert that combines the classic flavors of apple pie and spice cake in a quick and easy recipe. With just three ingredients, it’s perfect for a cozy family treat or last-minute dessert, offering a warm, comforting apple-flavored cake with a buttery, crispy topping.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (21 oz each) Apple Pie Filling
  • 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) Spice Cake Mix (dry)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) Butter, sliced


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for baking.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
  3. Add Apple Pie Filling: Pour both cans of apple pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out as the base layer.
  4. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry spice cake mix over the apple pie filling. Do not mix; just let it cover the filling completely.
  5. Top with Butter: Slice the butter into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the cake mix. This will melt and create a rich, crisp topping.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the dump cake to cool slightly for about 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
