How to Make Apple Dump Cake

Making an Apple Dump Cake is as easy as it sounds. Here’s how you can make this delicious dessert:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure your cake doesn’t stick.
2. Prepare the Apples: Spread two cans of apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. The filling is the base for this cake, giving it that signature apple flavor.
3. Add the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the apple filling. Make sure the entire surface is covered, creating a nice layer of cake.
4. Add Butter and Spices: Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. Then, sprinkle cinnamon on top for that warm, cozy flavor that pairs so well with apples.
5. Optional Additions: Add chopped walnuts for some crunch and extra flavor, but this is optional if you prefer a simpler cake.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The cake will be done when the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges.
7. Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. It’s best served warm, and for an extra treat, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This cake is as simple as it gets, and the result is a warm, comforting dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s a great way to use up apple pie filling and can be made with just a few pantry staples.
