4 Ingredient Apple Dump Cake

One of the first things I learned to make when I was a kid was apple dump cake. I was so proud of myself that I could make SOMETHING that turned out delicious…every time. This apple dump cake recipe went to pot lucks, ladies luncheons and even youth group events. It is a hit no matter where you take it. I hope you love my apple dump cake recipe as much as I do!

Apple Pie Filling Dump Cake

By keeping a few ingredients in your pantry such as a box of white cake mix, a box of yellow cake mix or a box of spice cake mix, apple pie filling and cinnamon and butter, you are able to be this yummy dessert any day of the week. This is a great dessert to pop into the oven for movie night or when you want a warm, comforting dessert on a cold winter night.

You can be extra fancy and make your own apple pie filling but when you are in a rush, as I usually am, taking help from a can of pre-done filling is just what you need.

I added freshly grated nutmeg to this recipe. It is not needed but I think it adds that ONE extra THING that makes everyone think…. what IS THAT?

Nutmeg.

The answer is always nutmeg.
