Tips for the Best Dump Cake
Don\u2019t stir the layers \u2014 the magic happens while baking.
Swap apple pie filling for fresh sliced apples tossed in sugar and cinnamon for a homemade twist.
For extra richness, use brown sugar instead of white in the topping.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge and reheat before serving.
Fun Variations
Caramel Apple Snickerdoodle Cake: Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples before adding cake mix.
