Ingredients

1 Package Spice Cake Mix Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines have great spice cakes that are well-flavored with warm spices.
¾ cups Butter That's 1 ½ sticks. Salted or unsalted butter both work fine.
2 cans Apple Pie Filling 2 - 21 oz cans of apple pie filling.
Homemade pie filling works beautifully in this recipe!

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.Use a 9x13 baking dish and spray it with nonstick baking spray.
Spread the two cans of apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of your baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry spice cake mix evenly over the apples. Do not stir—just spread it evenly with the back of a spoon.
Top with thinly sliced butter pieces, arranging them evenly over the cake mix. Covering as much of the surface as possible helps the topping bake up golden and crisp.
Bake for about 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges.
Let cool slightly before serving. The spiced aroma fills the kitchen—it’s irresistible!

Notes

This Apple Spice Dump Cake is made with just three ingredients—spice cake mix, apple pie filling, and butter. The warm fall spices in the cake mix perfectly complement the sweet apple filling.

For a little extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon, apple pie spice, or pumpkin pie spice over the apples before adding the cake mix. Chopped pecans or walnuts also make a delicious addition for extra crunch and texture.

Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. Let it cool slightly before serving so the filling thickens a bit.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Leftovers can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 20–30 seconds before serving.
