How to Make Apple Cobbler Dump Cake
Prep the dish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With 1 tablespoon butter, grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon and spread it evenly over the bottom of the pan over the butter.
Dump in the filling!
Dump the apple pie filling into the pan, spread evenly. Spread the cake mix evenly over the top. Cut the 1 ½ sticks of butter into small pieces and place evenly over top of the cake mix.
Bake until golden
Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown. Enjoy warm with a serving of vanilla ice cream!
Crissy’s Best Tips
- Use a high-quality butter. I like Kerrygold.
- Placing the slices of butter evenly over the cake will help ensure a more even texture on the top of the dish.
- Don’t forget to top with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

This sounds delicious but can I use fresh apples since I have a surplus. What changes would I make? Thanks.
Love this recipe this time of year (spring! And summer…) every time I bring it to a gathering it gets rave reviews.
Thanks for sharing!

Can I freeze apple dump cake or cherry dump cake?
I love the fact that you love cooking and Jesus – so refreshing – good luck in the future !
Hi! I make and enjoy the cherry dump cake and I spray the baking dish with Pam. The recipe I have uses 1 stick of butter that I slice into thin slices and they go on top of the cake before baking. I was wondering can I use Pam to spray the bottom of the baking dish? Since I am Diabetic I try to cut down on both fats and sugars and have been enjoying being on a plant based diet or vegan and will sometimes “splurge” for special occasions like my 70th Birthday I just made the cherry dump cake and it’s my favorite! I love apples so would like to try this recipe too. Thanks!
You definitely can use pam to spray the dish! :)
