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 box Butter Pecan Cake Mix
- 5 cups Apple Pie Filling (I make my own but if you want to use canned, you'll need TWO 21oz. cans)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1½ cups chopped pecans
- 1½ sticks (3/4 cup) Butter
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour Apple Pie filling into the bottom of 9×13 baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Then sprinkle the spices on top of the apple pie filling.
- Pour the Butter Pecan Cake Mix on top of the spices.
- Cut the butter and place small pieces over the top of the cake mix. Be sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible. This will soak into the mix and make a yummy topping.
- Pour the chopped pecans on the top.
- Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 45 minutes to an hour or until the top is a nice golden brown and the sides are bubbling. (Mine takes closer to an hour, but every oven is different.)
- Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream. YUM…YUM!!!

January 28, 2018 at 4:23 pmPlease 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.

October 19, 2017 at 11:10 amI 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
October 19, 2017 at 11:25 amThe whole oats sound like a delicious addition to the dump cake, Cory… thanks for sharing!

March 18, 2015 at 6:31 pmCanned 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
November 5, 2014 at 11:28 amPie 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
March 30, 2014 at 4:37 pmYou 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

September 19, 2013 at 5:11 pmIn Bristol, Pa butter pecan cake is is sold in walmart. Made by Betty Crocker
Robin says
September 13, 2012 at 2:12 pmthis 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
August 16, 2014 at 12:15 amTo 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.
