Apple Pecan Dump Cake Recipe
I love Fall for many reasons but Apple picking, cooking, and eating are three of my top loves. Heading out to the apple orchard is a memory we try to make every year with our kids. It’s so much fun to do, plus the apples taste much better and you can enjoy trying them all along your picking route!
One of the recipes I enjoy making with my yummy apples is this Apple Pecan Dump Cake Recipe. It’s easy, delicious, and perfect for the season.

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1½ cups chopped pecans
- 1½ sticks 3/4 cup Butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lisa says
Please share your homemade recipe for pie fillings – apple, cherry, berry, any and all – that would work well for a dump cake. I don’t like canned so would prefer to make my own.
Heidi says
Hi Lisa ~ you can find Homemade Pie Fillings that can be substituted for canned in dump cakes here…

Cory says
I omitted the all spice and pecans. I used country apple pie filling and added whole oats on the top off it all. It was so good, tasted just like apple cobbler!
Heidi says
The whole oats sound like a delicious addition to the dump cake, Cory… thanks for sharing!

Estavia says
Can this recipe work in a crockpot too? I just tried the crockpot peach dump cake and it was a big hit at church. Thanks for sharing!
lakia says
Great recipe but i didn’t see any butter pecan cake mix so i used Duncan Hines yellow cake mix is that ok and i didn’t have any allspice
Jennifer says
Canned Apple pie filling comes ready to use- cinnamon, nutmeg all flavors already added- the same as Cherry, peach, blueberry, rhubarb, even strawberry pie fillings. Dump cakes are supposed to be “QUICK & EASY” No stewing, cutting, peeling, pitting, or cooking beforehand. Also The fruit gel in the canned fruit/pie filling is the perfect amount of
wet ingredient for the dry cake mix.
Kay says
Pie filling mix: melt butter probaby about 1/4 stick when melted add apples and stir on medium/low after few minutes I add 2 cups of brown sugar and cinnamon to taste but, I had about 12 cups of apples, I added enough sugar to my liking! Cook down several mins and its done! I put in container and use it as you need it, can be frozen!
Susan says
You can also use Duncan Hines Yellow cake mix Butter recipe & melt the stick of butter to pour on top of dry cake mix. I use pumpkin pie spice & cinnamon in the Fall

Debbie Terrell says
Where do you find this cake mix butter pecan I have never seen one in my store but it does sound good . I make dump cakes all the time but this one is new to me.
kathy says
In Bristol, Pa butter pecan cake is is sold in walmart. Made by Betty Crocker
Robin says
this seems like alot of filling for a 9×13″ dish. I make this recipe with peaches on the bottom only using one large can and one stick of butter. Maybe use a larger dish? Do you make your filling by stewing the apples with butter?
Lela Fox says
To Robin– I make a cake similar to this and always use 2 cans of fruit. It is not too much fruit at all. there is really not much fruit in 1 21 oz. can.
Another lady, Diane asked if u put the cake mix on dry and the answer is yes.
