Caramel Apple Dump Cake
With only 4 ingredients, it's easy to put a delicious fall spin on a vintage dessert, with this Caramel Apple Dump Cake recipe! Named for the fact that all of the ingredients are simply dumped into a baking dish, there's not an easier dessert recipe out there!
Ingredients
- 40 ounces apple pie filling, 2 cans, or 5 cups homemade apple pie filling
- ½ cup caramel sauce, + more for drizzling on top
- 15.25 ounces spice cake mix, 1 box
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9 inch x 13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the apple pie filling into the baking dish in an even layer.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apple pie filling.
- Sprinkle the spice cake mix evenly over the caramel apple filling. Do not mix the cake mix into the caramel apple filling.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. You want to cover as much of the cake mix as possible. But if it’s not completely covered, that’s okay.
- Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes.
Notes
- Apple pie filling – to make this recipe quick and easy, use canned pie filling. If you have fresh apples, use my homemade apple pie filling recipe. You’ll need to double the recipe to make enough filling to equal two cans of store-bought pie filling. The recipe is easy to make in 15 minutes, and you can make it up to a week in advance of making this cake recipe.
- Spice cake mix – if you can’t find spice cake mix, you can use yellow cake mix in it’s place, and simply combine the cake mix with 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice before using it in this recipe.
- Store any leftover apple dump cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or let the cake cool completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. Do not store the cake at room temperature.
- Reheat the cake in individual portions on a plate in the microwave for 60 seconds. Or reheat the entire cake in the oven. Cover with foil and place the cake in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated throughout.
- Do not stir the dump cake! This is one of the beautiful things about dump cake, you don’t even need a spoon to stir it. This recipe only works if you layer the ingredients. This way the cake mix covered with butter browns perfectly on top.
