Why Do They Call It A Dump Cake?
The reason why this dessert is referred to as a dump cake, is because the different ingredients are dumped into the baking dish, in different layers.
First, you’ll dump in the apple pie filling, then the caramel, and finally a crumbly mixture of cake mix and butter for your topping.
How Do You Keep Crumble Topping From Getting Soggy?
The secret is the butter. Â The butter will help your cake mix become crisp and to also brown in color.
How Do You Know When Crumble Is Ready?
To know if you Apple Caramel Dump Cake is done, start by following my recipe instructions.
Once your dump cake is done baking, the crumble topping will appear browned. Â Also, the lower layer of apple and caramel should be starting to bubble up through the sides of your crumble cake mix and butter topping.
