Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 Cans Apple Pie Filling (approx. 21 oz each)
  • 1 Box Spice Cake Mix (dry, approx. 15 oz)
  • 1 cup Butter (2 sticks), sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the dump cake.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Add Apple Pie Filling: Pour both cans of apple pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
  4. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly distribute the dry spice cake mix over the surface of the apple pie filling, covering it completely.
  5. Add Butter Slices: Slice the butter into thin pieces and scatter them evenly on top of the cake mix layer to ensure rich, buttery flavor as it bakes.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour 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 about 10-15 minutes to set before serving.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
