How To Make Apple Dump Cake

1. To prepare this dessert, you pretty much just dump the apple pie filling into a 9×13-inch baking dish that’s been greased with cooking spray.

2. Next, you’ll whisk together the dry cake mix and oatmeal and sprinkle it over the top of the apple pie mixture.

3. Finally, you’ll drizzle melted butter over top of the cake mix then pop it into the oven. Bake until the top of the cake is slightly crisp and golden brown.

Apple Pie Dump Cake variations

For Caramel Apple Dump Cake, you’ll need some caramel topping to drizzle on it before it’s served. You can also stir a 1/4 cup of caramel sauce into the apple pie mixture before adding it to the pan!

Don’t have Spice Cake Mix? That’s okay, you can use a white or yellow cake mix instead. Just add 1 teaspoon of Apple Pie Spice and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to get a similar flavor.

Not an Oatmeal fan? That’s fine too, you can just omit it from the recipe making this a 3-ingredient dessert!

How to Serve Apple Pie Filling Dump Cake

I also like adding a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and of course, a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or a dollop of Homemade Whipped Cream!

One of my favorite tricks is to whip up this dish before company comes over. The whole house smells like cinnamon-apple goodness. Pretty clever, right?
