Ingredients

2 (21-ounce) cans apple pie filling
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
15.25 ounces yellow or white cake mix (13.25 will work if that’s what you have)*
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter (feel free to use as little as 1/2 cup, if preferred)
vanilla ice cream for serving optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Mix 1/2 tsp of vanilla into each can of apple pie filling, if using. Then, spread both cans of fruit filling evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg, if using.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix on top of the fruit in an even layer. Cut the butter into thin slices and arrange over the cake mix in an even layer, covering the entire surface.
Bake until golden brown, bubbling, and a crispy crust forms, about 55-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes to firm up. Then, serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

*I like using Betty Crocker Super Moist cake mix.

Crockpot option: To make slow cooker apple dump cake, use a 5 to 6-quart crock pot and follow the instructions. However, melt the butter and in a bowl mix together the cake mix and melted butter. Crumble this mixture over the apple pie filling. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours. Keep in mind, condensation can form on the lid of the crockpot and then drop onto the cake, so I recommend placing a few layers of paper towels or a dish towel under the lid to absorb that additional liquid.
