Indulge in a cozy camping dessert with our delicious Dutch Oven Apple Dump Cake recipe! Made with Apple pie filling and topped with buttery cake mix, it’s a nice treat to enjoy around a fire.
Dump Cakes are incredibly simple and a mix between a cake and a cobbler. They lean on store-bought ingredients, in this case apple pie filling, yellow cake mix, chopped nuts and lots of butter!
In this recipe, be sure to lay the ingredients in layers according to the instructions. DO NOT STIR! This will ensure you have a great cobbler-like experience that’s amped up by a delicious cake, brown sugar and nuts. Worried about the cake being dry? Don’t sweat it. The moisture in the apple pie filling and the fat from the butter (when spread evenly) will be more than enough to get you a wonderfully crispy cobbler-like top on your dump cake. Enjoy!
