This recipe is designed to be easy and flexible, so you can enjoy a Low-Fat Peach Dump Cake without complicated prep.

How to Make This Recipe

Making a Low-Fat Peach Dump Cake is quick, simple, and perfect for any level of baker. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Expert Cooking Tips

To make the perfect Low-Fat Peach Dump Cake, start with quality peaches—canned in juice or fresh—and make sure they’re evenly layered in your baking dish. Using unsweetened applesauce instead of butter keeps this dessert light and moist without sacrificing flavor. For an even topping, gently sprinkle the cake mix over the peaches instead of dumping it all at once; this helps create a golden, airy crust.

Baking time is crucial: 35–40 minutes at 350°F ensures your Low-Fat Peach Dump Cake is bubbly around the edges and lightly golden on top. Don’t skip the cinnamon—it adds warmth and depth to the peaches.

Optional toppings like light whipped cream or dairy-free alternatives can elevate this dessert without adding excess calories. Finally, let your cake cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to meld. These small adjustments make a big difference, ensuring every slice of Low-Fat Peach Dump Cake is tender, flavorful, and utterly irresistible.
