I added more butter as suggested, mixed with the cake mix and cooked it for 45 minutes. This was easy, but WAY too sweet even with ice cream for us.

This is awesome & easy! It is always a hit at our house. Mix and match pie fillings and flavors of cake mix for variety.

This "dump cake" recipe is one of our family's favorites. I've made it with all different kinds of fruit, and even mixed up pumpkin pie filling and used a spice cake mix on the top. It's basically just a cobbler, so bake it as you would a cobbler. It does make it a litle easier to mix the butter and cake mix first, but not necessary. My mom never mixes her first, and it is always perfect.And no offense to anyone, but desserts are supposed to be sweet! :)

I baked this recipe for approx. 45 minutes, until it was golden and crispy on the top. I used a stick and a quarter of butter and actually split the recipe into twp cake pans. It was absolutely fabulous. Everyone loved it-mserved with cool whip on top. I would definitely bake this one again.

This dessert was so easy to make - and tasted wonderful, melt-in-your-mouth good! The only thing I noticed was that I had to bake it 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes so that the apples would rise up and moisten the cake mix.

I have always made this with canned peaches in syrup. I thinly slice 1 stick of butter and making sure it evenly covers the cake mixture on top. I also sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts on it. Comes out so good and it can't be any easier! You can definately use different canned fruit or fruit pie fillings, but the syrup from the canned fruit really goes nice with this as it does seep through the cake topping. Can serve with cool whip, frozen yogurt or ice cream! Simple and yummy!

I made this for casual company last night and everyone had rave reviews!! It was so moist and dense, but not heavy. I changed it up just a bit. I used sliced apples instead of apple pie filling (not gelatinous), I melted a stick of butter and added cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves and ground ginger to my own taste and then mixed it all up to moisten the cake. It was supurb. Moist and slightly sticky.....yummmmmmm!! Thanks, Paula!!

If you crave something sweet and easy this is the recipe for you. I read the reviews first so I knew to mix the butter and the cake mix first. It turned out great. I took it to a family picnic and everyone loved it.

I took into consideration some of the advice and used 1/2 cup of butter, which I melted and then added the cake mix directly to it. Then I spread it over the apples. I also cooked it for 40 minutes. It is very good. I think I will try a chocolate cake with cherries - instant Black Forest Cake - YUM!

I wish I would have read the other review prior to making this one. You MUST mix the butter into the cake mix prior to baking for it to turn out right. I didn't do this and ended up having to stir the entire thing up after cooking for 30 minutes. Once I stirred it up and baked it 15 more minutes, it tasted great.

I know this recipe as a "dump" cake and can use any pie filling - pineapple, cherry, peach, etc. Quick and easy dessert that tastes great.

I liked this but had to pour extra melted butter over top. Next time, I will try mixing softened butter into cake mix before putting on top of apples.

I don't think I'll try this one again. The cake batter sprinkled on top that did not have butter drizzled on stayed as a powder. It was too sweet and it tasted exactly like uncooked cake batter with apple filling underneath.

I made this for Christmas dinner (2002), and my whole family LOVED it. I followed the advice of some of the other reviewers and used more butter than was called for. This is a great, simple recipe. Absolutely loved it.

This is a quick and easy dessert. Like another reviewer suggested, drizzle more butter over the cake mix to make sure it is completely covered. I also like to add a little cinnamon to the cake mix.
