Dump cake has been around for a very long time and new variations come up every so often. This caramel apple version is about as easy as baking gets: almost everything comes from a can or a box, and the oven does the rest.
Caramel Apple Dump Cake
Whose recipe it is: The Novice Chef. The full recipe, with amounts and steps, is on her site.
What goes in it (names only; check the full recipe for amounts):
- apple pie filling
- butter
- caramel bits
- caramel sauce, for serving
- ground cinnamon
- ground nutmeg
- vanilla ice cream, for serving
- yellow cake mix
Why it stands out: no peeling, no chopping and no mixing bowl worth mentioning, which makes it a good dessert for a busy fall weekend or a potluck where you need something warm.
Good to know: it is very sweet, between the pie filling, the caramel and the cake mix, so small squares go a long way. The ice cream is what balances it. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge, and as the intro says, they are good cold.
