Easy Apple Pie Dump Cake: 1 Pan Joy

Question 1

Can I make this apple pie dump cake in a slow cooker?

Accepted Answer

Oh, absolutely! If you don't want to turn on the oven, or maybe you want to prep it ahead, your slow cooker is totally your friend here. Just do all the same steps – apple pie filling first, then the dry cake mix, and finally the melted butter poured over the top. Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 2-3 hours, or until it’s all heated through and deliciously bubbly. It’s a great option, especially if you’re hosting and want it ready when guests arrive!

Question 2

What's the easiest apple dump cake recipe?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, this is about as easy as it gets! Seriously, calling it an apple dump cake the first time I heard that name felt unreal, but it lives up to the hype. You only need three main ingredients: apple pie filling, a box of cake mix, and butter. That's it! No complicated steps, no measuring flour and sugar from scratch. You literally just dump it all in a pan and bake. It's one of my favorite ways to get a comforting, homemade dessert on the table with almost zero effort.

Question 3

How do I get a crispy topping on my apple pie dump cake?

Accepted Answer

For that perfect, crispy golden topping, the key is making sure that melted butter gets *everywhere* over the dry cake mix. Don’t be shy with it! You want to drizzle it evenly so all those dry bits get moistened. If your oven runs a little cool, or if you just want to be extra sure, you can always let it bake for the full 45 minutes, or even a few extra minutes if it still looks a little pale, just watching carefully so it doesn’t burn. Sometimes, a loose tent of foil over the top for the last 10 minutes can help the center cook through without the edges getting too dark. That golden, slightly crisp topping is just heavenly!
