Description
Indulge in a quintessential American dessert that balances the warmth of spiced apples with a golden, buttery crust. This effortless dump cake is the ultimate comfort food for busy home cooks, requiring minimal prep and pantry staples to create a cobbler-like topping over bubbling, syrupy fruit. It is the perfect, stress-free family dessert for any occasion, offering maximum flavor with every golden-brown bite.
Ingredients
0.75 cup salted butter, sliced thin
2 cans (15.25 oz each) apple pie filling
1 tsp apple pie spice
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
Optional caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Thoroughly grease the interior of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Pour both cans of apple pie filling into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the apple pie spice evenly over the fruit base.
Distribute the dry yellow cake mix evenly across the top of the fruit.
Place the thin butter slices systematically across the entire surface of the cake mix, ensuring uniform coverage.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Notes
Ensure total coverage with the butter slices to prevent dry cake spots. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
