Provided by á-50835

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cans apple pie filling
Butter pecan cake mix
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 to 3/4 cups pecans, chopped
4 tablespoons butter, chopped
Whipped Cream or Ice Cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour apple pie filling in greased 13x9-inch pan or 2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle dry cake mix over Apple pie filling,with small amount of brown sugar. Add pecans,and several small pieces of butter on top. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream

Tips:

  • Use ripe apples: Riper apples will have a sweeter flavor and will break down more easily in the cake, creating a more tender texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking dish: This is the standard size for a dump cake. If you use a larger or smaller dish, the cake may not cook evenly.
  • Serve the cake warm: Dump cake is best served warm, when the apples are still soft and the cake is still moist. You can also serve it cold, but it will be less gooey.

Apple pecan dump cake is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes.
