Ingredients
- 2 cans (21 oz each) Apple Pie Filling
- 1 package (about 18 oz) Spice Cake Mix – dry
- 1 cup (2 sticks) Butter, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Apple Filling: Pour both cans of apple pie filling evenly into the bottom of the greased baking dish, spreading out with a spatula as needed.
- Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry spice cake mix over the apple pie filling, covering it completely for consistent baking.
- Add Butter: Slice the butter into pieces and place them evenly over the surface of the cake mix. This will melt and create a crisp topping as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour (60 minutes), or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes to set and make serving easier.
- Serve: Serve the apple dump cake warm. Optionally add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
