This decadent butter pecan apple cake loaded with sweet pecans and cozy Fall spices will have you dreaming of crisp air and chilly Autumn nights!

Apple Pecan Dump Cake Recipe

It doesn't get much easier than a dump cake, and this Apple Pecan Dump Cake Recipe is perfect for Fall!
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time45 mins
Total Time1 hr
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: apple pie, cobbler, Fall, pecans
Servings: 8
Author: Carrie

Ingredients

  • 1 Butter Pecan Cake Mix {1 box}
  • 5 cups Apple Pie Filling {use two cans 21 oz. each, OR use homemade Apple Pie Filling}
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Allspice
  • 1½ cups Chopped Pecans
  • 3/4 cup Butter {1 1/2 sticks}

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Sprinkle the dry Butter Pecan Cake Mix evenly in the dish, 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 immediately, warm with ice cream or whipped cream. YUM…YUM!!!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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?

      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.
