Maybe it’s because I hate the name dump cake. I don’t know why I had a mental block toward these recipes because it turns out that they’re pretty awesome. For two, they take maaaaybe 5 minutes to prep before they go in the oven. For three, they’re pretty easy to tweak for whatever flavors you want or season you’re in. Because sometimes you just need an easy, no-brainer fall dessert, ok? For this apple version, I used apple pie filling and added apple pie spice and pecans. After all, the point of this kind of dessert is to dump it all together and have a cake that’s ready to bake in just a few minutes.
9-inch cake pan and stir in half of the apple pie spice. Sprinkle the cake mix on top, followed by the rest of the apple pie spice and the chopped pecans. It’s so easy anyone could make this cake. With you helping them with the oven, of course! But really, it doesn’t matter if your kid is making this or if you’re making it yourself, this is an easy recipe you’re for sure going to want to make again! Spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
