Apple Dump Cake

Ingredients

• 42 ounces canned apple pie filling (two 21 ounce cans)
• 15.25 ounces dry yellow cake mix (1 package)
• 3/4 cup salted butter (cold. sliced thin)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Spread the apple pie filling evenly into a 9x13 baking dish.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the apple pie filling.

4. 4

   Use a sharp knife or a mandolin to slice very thin pieces of butter. Spread the pieces of butter over the top of the dry cake mix, covering as much of the cake mix as possible.TIP - You can also melt the butter and pour it over the top of the cake mix, though I find it a little easier to cover the top with pats of butter. Typically, ½ cup butter will just cover a dump cake. You may have some dry patches of cake mix when the dump cake is done baking and that is okay. You can also check on the dump cake after about 30 minutes of baking and add some additional pieces of butter over any dry patches.

5. 5

   Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is browned and the apple pie filling is bubbling from under the topping.

6. 6

   Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and/or caramel sauce.
