Love easy dessert recipes? Dump cakes may become your new go-to. We see dump cake recipe ideas<\/a> all over TikTok because this dessert is so<\/em> simple. The name refers to the way the ingredients are literally dumped into a baking dish\u2014no mixing required. A dump cake recipe comes together in minutes, and after it\u2019s baked, the flavor and textures are amazing.<\/p>\n Several types of dump cake recipes exist, including peach dump cake, cherry pineapple dump cake<\/a> and, of course, the ever-popular apple dump cake!<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Evenly spread the apple pie filling into a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.<\/p>\n Shake the cake mix over the apple pie filling, making sure it\u2019s in an even layer.<\/p>\n Evenly pour the melted butter all over the cake mix.<\/p>\n Bake the cake until it\u2019s golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the apple dump cake on a wire rack at room temperature. If desired, serve with whipped cream.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re lucky enough to have leftovers, let the cake cool to room temp, cover the pan with storage wrap and store the cake in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>\n Baked apple dump cake can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months. To thaw, place the frozen dump cake in the refrigerator overnight, then bake at 350\u00b0 until heated through, about 20 minutes. You can also microwave smaller servings for about 45 seconds or until warmed through.<\/p>\n You can certainly use fresh apples, but the apple dump cake will need to bake longer. If using fresh apples, peel the apples<\/a> first and be sure to add some extra cinnamon sugar to give the apples more flavor and to balance out any tartness. Here are the best apples for apple bakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n When a dessert is this good, only simple toppings are needed. Serve it with premade or homemade sweetened whipped cream<\/a> or a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then, take this apple pie filling dump cake over the top with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce<\/a>. This simple apple dump cake recipe is the perfect dessert for fall. You’ll need a box of cake mix, apple pie filling and butter\u2014that’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7061,"featured_media":2005460,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"tags":[303972,303971,304158,305744,304328,305271,304288,305487,304430,304338,304515,304433,307104,303966,304408,304368,303887,306848,304438,304347,304268,304455,305374,304558,304350,324623,304388,304395,304398,304150,303883],"categories-v2":[308503,308500,310461,309438,311389,308988,308984,308481,309216,259620,310796,308830,308992,308880,308833,310155,308495,308813,308745,308478,309603,308844,308998,259483,308860,309381,308910,309001,309177,308752,308782,308797,309434,308476],"coauthors":[341568,342012],"recommended_recipes":[{"post_title":"Easy
