Apple Dump cake
Hi there everyone! Just when you thought the dump cakes were over…. I had to go ahead and make an apple dump cake recipe. It’s the season for all things Apple. Here are some dump cakes I have made in the past:
NOTE: As with all dump cakes these are not to be dumped upside down. They are scooper cakes:)
Peach crisp Bisquick dump cake
I whipped this Apple dump cake up to for a party we were attending.
I was not able to get an after shot because at that point I was at the party and it went too fast. Besides, I really don’t whip out my camera or phone every chance I get, believe it or NOT!
Bad blogger..
As per usual only a few ingredients.
I had a taster tell me, that he doesn’t even care for Apple pie but this was “dynamite” I quote him:)
At this point, I can’t even pick a favorite dump cake. I loved them all.
My family actually loved the apple one best though if they had to pick just one:)
Please note you can either use a Pyrex or a bundt pan. Either way, it’s not a “pretty cake”. You are scooping, topping and serving. I prefer pyrex, however for the party and bringing it warm, the bundt pan looked nice too.
Thanks for stopping over today. If you are not a regular, I sure would love to see you back again.
I am also very excited to share my new stencil line with you.

Apple Dump cake
Apple dump cake
Ingredients
- I box of yellow cake mix
- 2 cans of Apple pie filling
- Chopped Walnuts
- 1 stick of butter
- cinnamon
- Apple spice
Instructions
- I like to use a bundt pan when making my dump cakes. Take your Apple pie filling and add to the bottom of a sprayed with Pam (pan of choice).
- Sprinkle cinnamon lightly on top of pie filling.
- Take your yellow cake mix and sprinkle evenly over the pie filling. Make sure you have it nice and even.
- Cut up one stick of butter pats and place around combination. Sprinkle lightly some apple spice {this is optional} Top with walnuts. You can use as many as your taste buds like. I just sprinkle a handful. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes. Ovens vary. You will know when it is done when the top is lightly browned. ENJOY!
I’ve done Sonny’s dump cake with cherry pie filling and gluten free cake mix, Debbie. It’s always gone over well. I will have to try the apple. I’ll bet it smells great!
it does Kathy! Really good.
I made a dumb cake the other day. I was so disappointed it called for a 9 cup Bundt pan. I only have a 12 cup pan. What size Bundt pan do I need for your cake? I loved the dumb cakes especially when others make them. But the are usually in 9×12 pan, Bundt pans make them look fancier especially if they have glaze dripping down them.

Debbie, I hear of doing these dump cakes in the crockpot, have you ever tried that with success?
Never tried them in the crockpot Dawn! I bet they would turn out great too!
I have a friend who has made one in the crockpot and took it to a work potluck, it was nice and warm. Very good.
What size Bundt pan did you used for your Apple Dump Cake?
I believe this was a 9′ pan.
Dawn, I have made in crackpot several times and it is delicious. Only difference was using spice cake instead yellow cake and spices.
You’ve done it again…looks amazing!
I love your recipes, can’t wait to try this one.
Great! Thanks Patty, this one is DYNO MITE:)
I love dump cakes. My favorite recipe is actually a Strawberry Bread that I just dump everything together.
This looks great, Debbie! My hubby and daughters love anything ‘apple’! I need to try this during the holidays! I am sure it is delicious!
Oh boy! Time for me to get to the gym…they all sound wonderful. Love how easy they are. Jane
Dump cakes are so easy and delish! I’ve made a couple in a crockpot which makes them even easier.
This looks easy and yummy, I’m sure to make it! Thanx Jo
They are super duper easy Joanne!
looks yummy…I am making one with a spice cake and pumpkin,h er pe it tastes as good as it sounds.
Ok Deb.. Youv’e already hooked me on those Pumpkin Spice Oreo’s now I’ve got to try this . It looks like it would be so yummy!
I haven’t’ bought those cookies since. I just can’t lol! They were too good.
I think this will be my fav “dump cake” too….can’t wait to try this one out!!!
I love the cherry dump cake. It’s just like my Moms, except we do it in a 9×13 pan. I would have loved to try the Oreo dessert with the.pumpkin spice Oreos, but they sold out in mid October where I live.
A perfect Fall cake.
YUMMY!! I can’t wait to try it…the only thing I’ll leave out is the nuts…hubby don’t like them!
how long do you cook your dump cake in the crock pot? What size crock do you use.
Thanks for sharing.
I have never done it in the crock pot. This is the oven method and the recipe is there:)
Looks easy and going to try the apple dump cake. Do you serve from the pan or dump it out on a dish when done?
It’s a scooper, so you just scoop it out onto the plate per piece and you can add some whip cream on it if you like.
i have fresh frozen apples can i use instead of canned
Not sure how that would work honestly. Maybe do half and half. The syrup in the apples is what helps cook the cake as well.
Does the apple dump cake have to be made in a bunt pan?
No, not at all. Any pan you like.
Do i have to prepare the yellow cake like it says on the box or just the mix itself?
No, you sprinkle the cake on top of the filling. NO prebake at all.
I have a lot of homemade apple pie filling in quart jars. I’m wondering if one quart jar would be close to the amount of 2 cans of pie filling? What do you think? I would want to not have enough, but I think two quarts would be too much!
Hi Leah, Not sure about that. I would think so if I had to guess:)
Just tried making this and I’m not sure what I did wrong, but I’ve still got dry cake mix. 🙁
Betsy, I really don’t know what you did wrong. It should turn out perfect. Did you use the butter on top?
Is it safe to assume you used the cake mix dry? I’ve never done a dump cake and want to make this this week 🙂
Yes, sprinkle the cake mix.
I made the apple dump cake in the bunt pan for Easter – tomorrow. Now that it’s baked, Does anyone know if you’re suppose to invert it onto a cake plate or cut & serve it from the pan? I’m afraid of what will happen to the cake if I try to invert it so I guess I’ll leave it in the pan. If I was suppose to invert it on to a plate, how long should it cool before doing that? It smells wonderful & I’m sure is going to taste great, I just would have liked to invert it and make a prettier presentation for the table. Any suggestions anyone?
No do not invert it. This cake is a scooper it won’t come out pretty but it will be a party in your mouth pretty! Enjoy.
This will be the first time making a dump cake. So I dont add eggs, oil or even water to the box of cake mix??? How does this work????
No you do not…the fruit from the can has a lot of what the dump cake needs to bake..and of course the butter:)
Hi Deb I have a Problem with your Apple Dump Cake. The recipe doesn’t till you how to get it out of the pan.
Do you let it set for a while?
Do you flip in on to a Plate? I can’t see how you can use a wire rack it has a lot of gooey stuff at the top looks like if you flip it, it may fall apart.
Just not sure how to handle this one babe.
OK I see from another reply that you just scoop it out.
Could You Include it of the recipe,Please Thank You
Now I can’t wait to dig in!!
OK Rita, I will, thought I did say that:)
It’s a scooper cake. Just scoop and serve Rita! Enjoy.
Just finished baking, and turned out onto plate…albeit with some misgiving…
That’ll teach me to read all the way through the recipe!
Bunds cake pan mislead me, but my own fault…delicious…
Anyone else with my problem? If so, maybe a note at the beginning??
LOL! Yes, you are not the first. I will go add that in the beginning:) Only a few people have done it, but they said it was still delicious. Surprised you could get it out of the pan at all.
Looks great. I plan to make this the night before needed, how should I store this?
Thanks
Keep it in the pan and just put foil over it. You can keep it in the fridge and before you serve it, scoop it and nook it for a few seconds. It tastes best warm. Enjoy. Remember this is a dump cake, you are not reverting it out of the pan. Just scooping and serving.
Does it have to be kept in fridge to keep from spoiling or room temp be fine? Thanks again
Yes, room temp is fine too. SOme people won’t leave food out, but I do leave that out if there is any left:) Happy Thanksgiving.
Can this be made in a 13×9 pan?
Absolutely!
Can you use white cake or vanilla cake mix
Absolutely! Any cake mix will do.
I made it with a sugar free cake mix and no sugar added pie filling as a few of us can’t eat sugar…it was amazing!
Just made this, hubby and I absolutely LOVE it!!! It is a definitely a keeper. Thanks!
Absolutely love Dump cakes! Ive also made apple/pineapple and caramel apple dump cakes with caramel ice cream topping. Perfect for fall and a crowd pleaser.
Can you make this with sugar free cake mix and sugar free apple pie filling?
I don’t see why not. I never have but I assume it will work.
