Apple Dump Cake

Ingredients

• 2, 20 oz cans of apple pie filling
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 box yellow cake mix (I used Duncan Hines 15.25 oz box, or spice cake mix)
• 1 cup pecans (chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup butter (thinly sliced)

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F conventional (no fan). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2. 2

   Step 2: Pour apple pie filling into the baking dish and top with apple pie spice. It’s not necessary, but you can stir to combine. Gently shake it to settle into one even layer.

3. 3

   Step 3: Cut open the cake mix bag. Shake the cake mix evenly over the top of the whole apple pie filling.

4. 4

   Step 4: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of the cake mix. Lightly touch with your hand to even out the cake mix. I mostly just try to get any big mounds down to the same level.

5. 5

   Step 5: Sprinkle the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon over the top of the pecans.

6. 6

   Step 6: Lay the sliced butter in a single layer over the top of the cake. There will be gaps, but try to get even coverage so no patch of cake mix is left unbuttered!

7. 7

   Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes if using a metal pan or until the sides and top are a nice golden brown and the center gives a little resistance when lightly pressed.

8. 8

   Step 8: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
