Yummy but very sweet. Will try with fresh apples next time. May also be better with cinnamon...

I used 1/2 cup of butter instead of the 1/4 cup, and I mixed it in the cake mix before I put it on top of the apple filling. It turned out nicely.

This tasted really good but it turned out kind of runny. I was expecting it to be thicker. I guess maybe I didn't cook it long enough or something.

I followed the recipe to the T, mine was horrible. Very mushy. I won't make this one again.

This recipe is ok, but I recommend using only half a cake mix. Make sure to cook it long enough, or you'll end up with goo!

After reading the reviews and only using 3 ingredients I hoped this would be quick and tasty. I decided to use 1 can of fried apples with cinnamon instead of 2, and 1/2 half box of cake mix.. I decided to use a loaf pan and place some of the cake mix on the bottom of the dish. I then put in can of apples and topped with the rest of the cake mix. I drizzled the butter and juice from the apple can over the cake mix. I baked 35 minutes. Mine turned out very sweet. It may have been my choice of canned fried apples. Next time I will try an unsweeted canned apples or fresh apples in season.

After reviewing everyone's comments I made this recipe with 5 fresh granny smith apples and 9 ounces of yellow cake mix (half of a box), 1 tbsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp sugar. I also used 3/4 cups butter. I baked it 35 minutes! It was absolutely perfect.

we love this recipe. I have adjusted it to fit our tastes- increased butter to 1 cup, and before sprinkling cake mix over apples, I sprinkle apples with about 1-2tbls. lemon juice(this makes the apples slightly tart- minimizes some of the sweetness)and also about 1 tsp. cinnamon. Then top off with cake mix and melted butter. I make this often for pot lucks and never have any left over. Hope this helps for those of you who are concerned about the sweetness.

Loved it! Took this to a reunion and came home with 2 pieces left! Im not sure where the too sweet reviews come from...ours was just fine. I used 1 can of filling, butter yellow mix, and 1.5 sticks of butter. Next time I will make sure to have 2 cans! Do mix the butter into the cake mix first, it makes for a cakier tasting topping! Thanks!

made this tonight, but not with apples... used 1 can blueberry and 1 can strawberry filling, and butter yellow cake mix. came out great, but VERY owerpoweringly sweet. i cant think of a way to cut out the sweetness of it... but its good served warm over vanilla ice cream. i'll probably make it again, maybe find some lower sugar content filling.

Okay, so it is a little sweet. And all the reviews are true. But its easy to make, and if done right, a crowd pleaser.

This was good but way to sweet. I also expected it to be more like cake but it was more like apples with a crunchy topping. Not to bad though,I might consider making it again.

This is GREAT!!! I actually did mix the butter into the cake mix first and worked fantastic. I didn't use yellow cake mix, I used butter pecan and let me tell you it is awesome. I will be making this for many people for Christmas gifts.

I make this all the time with various fruit fillings. I reduce the amount of cake mix for a crispier taste or add more butter for more "cake". I like the butter recipe cake mixes better than regular yellow cake. I stock up on these ingredients when I shop so I always have an easy, fast, dessert.

This is basically my mom's dump cake recipe with crushed pineapple added to 2 cans of pie filling. I mixed melted butter in with the cake mix and added 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 tsp cinnamon. I don't have a pastry blender so this was a little harder than just putting pats of butter over the dry mixture. In any case, it turned out delicious. Baked at 325 for about 40 minutes until golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Delicious!!! Definite 5 star here. I did mix the butter and cake mix prior to spreading on top. I think that worked out a lot better than trying to mix over the apple pie filling. Also I sprinkled it with some cinnamon and sugar after it came out of the over. SOOOOOO easy.
