How to Make It

Heat the oven and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread both cans of apple pie filling in the dish and sprinkle the cinnamon over the top. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the apples (don’t stir!), then drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of it as you can. Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. Let it cool a few minutes and serve it warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips for the Best Apple Pie Dump Cake

Don’t stir. Just sprinkle the cake mix over the apples and leave it.
Cover the dry spots. Drizzle the butter over as much of the cake mix as you can.
Look for bubbly edges. Bake until the top is golden and the edges bubble.
Let it cool a bit. A few minutes helps it set up.
Serve it warm. Ice cream melting on top is the best part.
