Apple Dump Cake
Description
The Apple Dump Cake uses apple pie filling combined with fresh diced apples spread in a pan as the moist fruit layer. A dry vanilla or spice cake mix is sprinkled evenly over the fruit without mixing. Melted butter is drizzled over the top to moisten the cake mix as it bakes, creating a crumbly, tender topping. Cinnamon adds warm spice fragrance and flavor.
As the cake bakes, the fruit layer softens and becomes juicy, while the cake mix browns and crisps slightly on edges. The result is a dessert with tender fruit beneath a sweet, moist, and lightly crisped top.
Fresh apples enhance natural texture but are optional. Different cake mixes alter flavor and should not be mixed into the filling. The butter coverage is key to avoid dry areas.
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces vanilla cake mix white cake, yellow cake or spice cake mix
- 42 ounces apple pie filling 2 x 21 ounces each

- ½ teaspoon cinnamon or to taste, or 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar

Notes
