This Apple dump cake is out of this world! Packed with flavor, warm apples and a cinnamon sugar topping. This dessert will fill your house with the smell of the season. 

I love fall food and this dump cake is no exception! The smell of apples and cinnamon really makes you think of fall. More of my favorite fall recipes include: Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups, Pumpkin Bars and Apple Nut Blondies.

Ingredients needed

  1. Apple Pie Filling– You can use canned apple pie mix or make your own easy homemade apple pie filling.
  2. Butter Pecan Cake Mix– I love the spices and flavor in this cake mix. You could substitute with Spice Cake Mix or Yellow Cake Mix.
  3. Butter  – Unsalted, sweet cream butter. 
  4. Cinnamon and Sugar– This adds an extra cinnamon punch to this cake.

Dump cakes are so easy to make! All you need is a fruit filling, butter and cake mix. They are similar to a cobbler and much easier to assemble than a pie. You can use this same recipe and substitute peach pie filling, cherry pie filling, etc. 

  • Filling: Start by spreading 2 cans of apple pie filling in the bottom of a casserole dish. Make sure to evenly distribute the filling.
  • Topping: Next, sprinkle cake mix over the apples and then top with slices of butter.

  • The last step is to sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the cake. Feel free to leave this step out but I like the extra cinnamon flavor it adds to the cake. 

  • Bake: Bake the dump cake at 350 degrees for approximately 45-50 minutes.

Recipe tips

  • Make sure to preheat the oven before you bake.
  • Toppings: Try this dessert with vanilla or butter pecan ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream and chopped nuts. 
  • I would recommend serving this just after it’s finished baking. 

How to store

Store: Let everything completely cool and then cover the baking dish with foil or place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

Can you make crockpot apple dump cake?

Yes! Spray the bottom of crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in apple filling and then top with cake mix and butter. Place on the cover and cook on high for 2 hours. This is great for a party.

    I love that buttery crispy crust on the top and then getting some of the apple syrup in that first warm bite…

    I’ll be honest anything apple in a dessert is something I want to try! This sounds like it would be absolutely incredible and I have to admit I don’t think I’ve ever tried dump cake.

    I make these all the time and substitute different fruits for the apples and different cake mixes. They’re a great way to use fruit!

    Dump cake sounds funny but it looks like a great way to enjoy apple and cinnamon. I will have to try this recipe when the apples start coming in season in late summer.
