Sometimes you just want something sweet. And easy. And good for you too! What, it’s not? It’s made with apples! Okay, so good for you might be stretching it a bit. But did I mention it was good? And easy? That makes it a win-win!

Dump cakes have been around for a long time, and there’s a reason for that. They’re simple. Really simple. But they don’t taste simple, they taste deliciously complicated. Which makes them a perfect dessert choice. Whether going to a pot luck, having friends over, treating the family, or sitting home alone on a Friday night with your fluffy socks, jammies, wine, movie or Netflix, and cats, this cake is a great choice!

Fresh Apple Dump Cake ~

Ingredients:

Apples (I use 4-5 Granny Smith and 1 Honeycrisp because I like a little bit of tart and sweet)*

 1 Cup (2 Sticks) Melted Butter

1 Yellow Cake Mix

1 Tbsp Cinnamon

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350

Layer your thinly sliced apples at the bottom of a 9×13 pan that has been coated with non-stick spray.

Whisk cake mix and cinnamon
Sprinkle cake mix and cinnamon over apples.
Pour 1 cup of melted butter over the top.
Bake at 350 for approximately 35-45 minutes — it’s done when it is nice and bubbly.

 

Serve warm with a generous scoop of ice cream, or, if you’re me, a VERY generous serving of whip cream, and enjoy!

*I like my apples sliced and peeled, though you could leave the peel on and dice them too.
