Apple Dump Cake
Apple Dump Cake layers canned apple pie filling with a dry yellow cake mix and melted butter to create a simple baked dessert with a bubbly, golden crust. The addition of apple pie spice throughout adds warmth and depth to the sweet apple base. Chopped pecans on top provide optional texture and a nutty contrast. Baking the dish in a single pan makes for easy preparation and cleanup.
