Description
This Caramel Apple Dump Cake is a simple, comforting fall dessert. It requires minimal effort, just dumping ingredients into a pan and baking. The result is a warm, gooey apple base topped with a buttery, crisp cake crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (21-ounce) apple pie filling
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice mix
- 1 ½ sticks cold unsalted butter, sliced into 24 pats
- ½ cup roughly chopped walnuts
- Caramel sauce, for topping
- Vanilla ice cream, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the two cans of apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the apple pie filling.
- Sprinkle the apple pie spice mix over the dry cake mix.
- Arrange the sliced butter pats evenly over the top of the cake mix, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use the yellow cake mix directly from the box without adding any eggs or oil.
- Avoid stirring the layers to maintain a gooey bottom and a crispy top.
- Add the caramel sauce just before serving to prevent the cake from becoming too soft.
- The cake is ready when the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Leftovers can be stored in a covered container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
