From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
This caramel apple dump cake really is the perfect fall dessert. Its just the right combination of flavors to hit the spot once the cool weather starts to roll in. Anything with pumpkin or apples are right up my alley.As much as I love apple desserts, they can be a pain in the butt to make. At least, thats how I look at them. Any dessert recipe that I make needs to be super easy and low effort, too.
Thats why I just love this dump cake recipe so much. The name says it all! All thats required on my part is to literally dump everything into the baking dish and the work on my part is done. Using premade ingredients like boxed cake mix and canned apple pie filling are huge shortcuts here. Its almost hard to believe how great this cake comes out compared to how little needs to be done to put it together.
