Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 42 oz apple pie filling
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup caramel sauce
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 scoop per serving vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In the greased baking dish, spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apple pie filling.
Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the cinnamon-topped apples to add a layer of sweetness.
Open the box of yellow cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the apple and caramel mixture, ensuring all the filling is fully covered.
Slice the unsalted butter into thin, even pats and arrange them over the top of the cake mix, ensuring as much of the surface as possible is covered with butter for even cooking.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top for a nutty crunch.
Bake the dump cake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Allow the cake to cool slightly for 10–15 minutes before serving. Scoop it onto plates or into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Enjoy this warm, gooey, and absolutely scrumptious dessert with family and friends!
