Light and fluffy, but full of fall flavor, this easy Apple Dump Cake has apples baked right into it and is topped with a cinnamon sugar sprinkle.

Easy Apple Dump Cake

If you’re in a hurry, it doesn’t get any better than a dump cake! While it sounds weird to have the word “dump” involved in a recipe, I promise it’s for a good reason!

A dump cake is a type of cake that gets its name from the way it’s prepared: you literally DUMP the ingredients into a baking pan and put it in the oven! No electric mixer needed!

This delicious apple dump cake is perfect for the coming fall weather. It’s similar to a cinnamon coffee cake, but we used apple pie filling as the liquid to add to our cake mix. The result is a cake that is impossibly fluffy, yet moist and flavorful, with apples baked right into it!

This is a go-to fall dessert recipe that both kids and grown-ups love!

Ingredients

• 1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
• 1 can Apple Pie Filling
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Helpful Kitchen Tools

• 9×13″ baking dish
• Mixing Bowl

Instructions

To Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and mist a 9×13″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

1. Dump the cake mix and apple pie filling into your prepared pan and stir until completely combined.
2. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top of the cake.
3. Bake for 30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Prep Tips

• If you want your cinnamon sugar to be more cohesive you can always whisk them together in a small mixing bowl before adding to the top of the cake.
• This cake is light and fluffy and delicious on its own or served with coffee. However, you can also serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream too.
• For a truly decadent treat, try adding a drizzle of caramel syrup on top of the cake when serving.

How to Store

Store leftover cake at room temperature, in a covered airtight container. Leftovers should stay good for 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze this cake. I recommend cutting into individual slices, wrapping them in plastic wrap, and putting them all into a gallon size freezer bag. Cake can last a couple months in the freezer.
