This apple dump cake is one of my favorite go to recipes when I need something sweet in a hurry. It is incredibly gooey and comforting, with tender apples and that wonderful cinnamon spice we all love.

My best tip for this recipe is to make sure your butter is spread evenly over the top of the cake mix. This ensures every bite gets nice and golden instead of leaving any dry patches of powder.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (21 ounces each) apple pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Pour the cans of apple pie filling into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apple filling and stir it slightly to combine.

  4. 4

    Evenly pour the dry yellow cake mix over the top of the apples.

  5. 5

    Place the thin pats of butter all over the top of the cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible.

  6. 6

    Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge covered with foil and reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before eating.
