Apple Dump Cake

(104)

This apple dump cake was one of the first things I made when I was learning to bake, and I still make it for parties. It calls for just three ingredients, is super quick and easy to make, and is a real crowd-pleaser. A dollop of vanilla ice cream tops it very well.

Cook’s Note

Any pie filling works great with this recipe.

I've found that when serving, it's easier to use a large serving spoon to dollop out a spoonful rather than try and cut it like a cake since pie filling is not a solid base.
