Apple Dump Cake Ingredients

• 2 cans apple pie filling (21 ounces each)
• 1 package yellow cake mix
• ½ cup (1 stick) butter, cut into thin slices
• ⅓ cup caramel topping (I used Hershey’s)

I’ll admit it. I used to think that using cake mix was some kind sin. Some sort of short-cut that only those people used. Who are those people? Busy people that like dessert–people like me and you!

How to make Apple Dump Cake

• Heat oven to 350. Spray a 13 x 9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Dump the apple pie filling in the pan and spread it out to the edges. 
• Top the apple filling with the packaged cake mix, spreading it to the edges as evenly as possible. 
• Place the thinly sliced butter all over the cake mix, spacing out evenly.
• Finish by drizzling the caramel topping over the cake.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for about 15 minutes.

Recipe Variations

• Substitute one can of apple pie filling with another type of pie filling.
• Top with nuts such as peanuts, pecans, walnuts or candied pecans.
• Mix in dried fruit like golden raisins or dried cranberries.

Notes

It may be tempting to add more caramel topping, but I found that 1/3 cup does the trick. You can always add more after it bakes.

If the top is browning too quickly, cover with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
