Dump cakes became popular when cake mixes were introduced and are considered a classic American dessert. They usually contain fruit (traditionally pie filling), dry cake mix, and butter. As you can guess by their name, the ingredients are dumped into the pan without any mixing, which means getting this 3-ingredient apple cake into the oven can be done with little to no effort at all.
The consistency of dump cakes is more like a fruit cobbler or fruit crisp than they are cake-like. Other ingredients such as nuts and spices can be added for endless variations and to make it your own. They are heavenly served warm with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Because of its simplicity to get it to the oven, it’s a terrific end to any weeknight meal or whenever you are in the mood for a sweet treat! It also feeds a crowd, so it’s a great one to bring to a potluck. If someone you love is feeling ill, this comforting recipe will bring them a lot of cheer while being quick and easy for you to throw together. This homey, casual dessert with fresh apples is great to serve anytime of the year.

Nothing says fall like an apple cake! All you need to bake this cake are three simple ingredients: apples, a box of Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix and butter. This apple dump cake might be the easiest way to enjoy the apple harvest, but if you’re hungry for more apple recipes, Betty’s got you covered with her array of <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/dishes/cake-recipes/apple-cake">apple cake recipes</a>, plus all the <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/baking-tips/cake-making-101">instructions for making perfect cake</a>.

Look at how easy it is to make our apple dump cake with cake mix! These simple steps will give you general guidance to put it together, but refer to the recipe for all the specifics, so your easy apple dump cake will turn out perfectly:<h3>Spray the Pan</h3>Use cooking spray to spray the bottoms and sides of your 13x9 pan, so none of the tasty morsels of this dessert will stick to it.<h3>Chop the Apples</h3>We like to peel our apples before chopping them, as the peels can turn brown and be tough to eat when baked. But that doesn’t mean you have to! Skip the peeling if you like and chop the apples into bite-size pieces. Sprinkle them evenly in the bottom of the pan.<h3>Sprinkle with Cake Mix</h3>Open the bag of dry cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the apples (and the bare spots between and around the apples in the pan), so there is one even layer without large clumps of cake mix.<h3>Drizzle with Melted Butter</h3>Drizzle butter over the cake mix, moistening as much as the cake mix as you can without any mixing. This will ensure the baked dump cake turns out moist and buttery delicious.<h3>Bake and Serve</h3>Bake the dump cake until it’s golden brown. Cool it until it’s warm (about 30 minutes), spoon it onto plates or into bowls, using a large serving spoon. Top it with ice cream or whipped cream and serve.

How to Make 3-Ingredient Apple Dump Cake

Our 3-ingredient apple dump cake recipe is out of this world, when served warm and topped with ice cream or whipped cream. The dairy notes of both ice cream and whipped cream really make the fresh apple flavor shine through. Our favorite choice for ice cream is vanilla, but butter pecan or birthday cake ice cream would also be tasty choices. 
If you want to go for broke, ice cream toppings like caramel or salted caramel or a sprinkling of chopped nuts would be a fabulous addition to this dessert…on top of the ice cream, of course. 
When is the best time to enjoy dump cake? Whenever it’s offered! We love it on a crisp fall evening, after a <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/dishes/chili-recipes">bowl full of chili</a>.

How to Serve Apple Dump Cake

Here is some guidance for <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/best-apples-to-bake-with">choosing the best apples</a> for this dessert. Your selected apples can range from tart to sweet, but they should hold up to baking, without becoming mealy or mushy. Try Braeburn, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp, or McIntosh. If there is one of these varieties that are on sale, go for those! Or, if you’ve recently visited a farmer’s market or apple orchard, nothing beats the flavor of freshly picked apples.
This recipe was created specifically for fresh apples. The bake time is suited to cooking fresh apples until they are perfectly tender. You wouldn’t want to use dried apples for this recipe, as there isn’t enough moisture in the dessert to reconstitute the fruit, so it becomes tender to eat. Using canned apples also isn’t recommended as they will be overly soft when baked with the texture of the “cake” portion being dry, since canned apples aren’t as moist as fresh apples.

What are the best apples to use?

Leftover apple dump cake can be left in the baking pan, so you don’t disturb the topping by spooning it into another container. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 days. To serve, spoon servings into microwavable bowls. Cover and microwave on medium-high (70%) 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until warm. 
Freezing isn’t recommended, as the apples will dry out. This cake is so quick to put together, keep the ingredients on hand so you can get one in the oven at a moment’s notice.
