Ever since the 70's when dump cakes first began, I have loved them. Not only for their convenience (you always seem to have the ingredients on hand) but bcuz they are so easy and a very yummy & popular dessert. Whenever I go to an event, I usually bring some sort of dump cake. There is never any left to take home so I make an extra one for my family. I have fun creating different combinations. I had some apples but only one can of apple pie filling so I decided to combine them and create this apple cobbler dump cake. It is so delicious and so much easier and better than apple pie IMO. Enjoy!

How To Make caramel apple cobbler dump cake

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9"x13" baking pan with non stick spray. Add all ingredients to pan and mix thoroughly to combine. If using canned pie filling, I chop the apples in the can with a thin sharp knife.

Step 2

Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over apple filling. Combine all the rest, butter, apple jce, brn sugar, & spice in microwave proof measuring cup and heat for 45 seconds or till butter is melted. Stir vigorously to combine and pour evenly over cake mix. Some dry areas will still show.
Step 3

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and drizzle with caramel sauce. Bake another 10-15 minutes until pecans are toasted. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. We like to drizzle more caramel sce over the ice cream. Enjoy!
