If you like apples and dump cake recipes, you’re going to naturally love this easy dessert recipe. One of the benefits of making a dump cake is that you simply toss the ingredients into a baking dish and let the magic of baking science do its thing.
Let’s look at how to make this easy apple dump cake.
Ingredients
- 2 cans of apple pie filling (or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- ¾ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Get the Party Started: Heat your oven to a chill 350°F (175°C) and give a quick spray to a 9×13 baking dish with some non-stick magic spray.
- Layer It Up: Toss that apple pie filling into the baking dish and spread it out like you’re creating a fruity masterpiece.
- Dump It, Spread It, Spice It: Pour the dry cake mix over the apples, making sure it covers everything. It’s like building a sweet mountain of goodness. Sprinkle that cool apple pie spice all over, letting it do its fragrant thing and amp up the flavor.
- Butter Bliss: Drizzle that melted butter all over the place – it’s the secret sauce that’ll make everything golden and delicious.
- Bake ‘n’ Enjoy: Toss your masterpiece into the oven and let it do its thing for 40-50 minutes. Watch for that golden-brown vibe and bubbliness – that’s your cue to dig in.
- Serve with a Smile: Once it’s out, let it cool a bit (or not, no judgment here) and serve it up. If you’re feeling fancy, add a scoop of ice cream, a blob of whipped cream, or drizzle with caramel sauce. The mix of hot and cold? Pure dessert magic.
Leftovers should be fine stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. For longer storage – up to 5 days – store leftover apple dump cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
If you love apple desserts as much as I do, you’ll want to try a few more sweet favorites. Warm up with a mug of apple cider using Homemade Apple Cider Mix, make a No-Bake Holiday Tart that also features apples, or switch things up with a slice of Moist and Delicious Banana Oat Cake – it’s just as comforting and easy to make!
