Description

This Apple Dump Cake is a wonderfully simple and delicious dessert that combines the flavors of apple pie and spice cake in one easy-to-make dish. With just three ingredients and minimal prep, this cake bakes up golden and buttery, perfect for serving warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.


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) unsalted Butter, sliced


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish well with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  3. Add Apple Pie Filling: Pour both cans of apple pie filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly as the base layer.
  4. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry spice cake mix over the apple filling, ensuring all the apples are covered to create a flavorful crust.
  5. Add Butter Slices: Slice the butter into thin pats and distribute them evenly on top of the cake mix layer. This helps create a rich, moist topping as it bakes.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Cool Slightly: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to thicken before serving.
  8. Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • This recipe combines the flavors of a classic apple pie with a moist spice cake topping, all made with just three simple ingredients.
  • You can use either regular or low-fat butter, but unsalted butter is recommended for better control of saltiness.
  • For a gluten-free option, consider using a gluten-free spice cake mix.
  • Best served warm but can be refrigerated and reheated.
  • Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to elevate the dessert.
