Apple Cinnamon Dump Cake

Dump cake earns the name here: apples, dry cake mix and butter stack in the baking dish with no batter bowl. The crucial move is covering as much dry mix as possible with thin butter slices. A few sandy spots are fine, but broad white patches need another dab of butter before baking.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans 21 oz each apple pie filling
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 box 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 12 tbsp unsalted butter sliced very thin

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Spread the apple pie filling evenly in the dish and sprinkle it with cinnamon.
  3. Shake the dry cake mix in an even layer over the apples without stirring the layers together.
  4. Scatter the pecans over the mix and cover the surface as evenly as possible with the thin butter slices.
  5. Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, until the apple filling bubbles vigorously at the edges and the topping is golden with no broad dry patches.
  6. Rest for 20 minutes before scooping so the fruit thickens.
