Not good! There were clumps of dry cake mix that just donesn't taste good. I guess I don't know what a dump cake is. It was basically unedible. I made as directed and do not get what this is supposed to be! It was just mush. I should have made pie or cobbler.

Another big hit with a bunch of girl scouts. Used the store brand apple pie filling, and the girls took turns cutting the butter into the cake mix with a pastry blender until crumbly. Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly. Delicious with whipped cream.

I'm a huge fan of traditional dump cake, and love spice cake. I made this last year, and think it is just too much with the spice cake. Will try with yellow cake next time.

I made this for my Bible class ages ranging from 17 to 60 and everyone loved it! I had just pulled it out of the oven before I left and someone had left some ice cream in the freezer at church. It was way better than apple pie!

Ended up having to melt extra butter and pour on the dry spots and let bake more. Otherwise it would have been powder cake. Haha. Topped the apples with a pinch of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon before adding cake mix. Served warm with vanilla ice cream. I'll make it again I'm sure.

I made this today, only instead of using two cans of apple pie filling, I peeled and sliced four Granny Smith apples and tossed them into the pie filling, while I made up a "sauce" in a saucepan on the stove. I added the spices to 1 1/4 c. water, two tbsp. cornstarch, a little lemon juice and a half cup of sugar. Once that thickened, I added it to the pie filling and apples. I haven't tried it yet, but it smells wonderful. TIP: It's best if you cut the butter/margerine into thin slices and layer them on top of the dry cake mix/nuts. Makes for a better crust.

maybe i screwed up the recipe or the bake time, but my cake turned out so runny! it really wasn't appetizing at all. even with ice cream. might try again at a later date, or just skip it and make apple crisp.

Great combination. Only variation that I made was using two sticks of butter and melting them first and pouring over cake, then adding nuts. As with all my dump cakes, I add a splash of vanilla extract to the butter before pouring over cake mix. Will definitely try this combo again.

I was looking for something quick to make with the granny smith apples from my tree. I used 2 large gs apples & only 1 can of pie filling. I added a little more sugar(2T. total) & used "Smart Balance" stick butter blend for the top. I cut calories & it still tasted yummy!

WONDERFUL!! I suggest taking the butter and softening it before adding to cake mix. I did not add the allspice but I added a dash of cinnamon and some fresh nutmeg. I would not do this with any cake other than the spice. It was great, my family and neighbors loved it and I'm making it again on Monday for my mother who is visiting.

I am so disappointed! This was very tasty if you could ignore the dry cake mix! I had never heard of "dump cake" before and after reading several of the recipes, I thought how much easier could making a cake be. I used one can of apple filling and added some applesauce to cover the bottom of the pan. I used a white cake mix and added cinnamon, nutmeg and a little ground cloves to it. I did everything else just like the recipe said. I sprinkled nuts on top and dotted the top with slices of butter. I cooked it at 375 for 45 minutes and I have a powder covered cake! I put it back in the oven, after pressing the top down, for 15 minutes and it helped a little bit. I noticed in a few reviews of other dump cakes that some people had this same problem but I didn't see any responses as to what could have been wrong. Can someone tell me what they think went wrong. I would appreciate the feedback. In the meantime, I'm going to have a piece of dry topping cake with a wonderful, tasty bottom!

I appreciated the simplicity of this recipe. My family enjoyed this dessert and I will make it again. It seems like there is something missing but I'm not sure. I wonder if putting the cake mix on the bottom instead of the top would make a difference.

Overall, probably the easiest dessert I've ever made. Smelled wonderful baking and tasted good too! Only issue I had was that the amount of spices seemed to overwhelm the apples, the flavor which I was really hoping would stand out. I'd make it again but probably either cut the spices in half or use the equivalent quantity (possibly a cup or two more) of homemade chunky applesauce or tender-cooked spiced apple slices instead of the canned pie mix. (I know it should be a 'dump' cake, but it's too hard to find apples in a can that aren't overly sweet.) Thanks for the recipe, we enjoyed this for Thanksgiving this year.

I agree that this is more like apple crisp. I followed the recipe, but after cooking this for an hour, the top cake-mix layer was still VERY powdery. I had to add much more butter and cook it almost twice the time.

This just came out of my oven a few minutes ago. Oh, My, Gosh!!! It is delicious! Based on other reviews and recommendations, I omitted the additional sugar, and mixed the butter in with the cake mix. I know my family will love it...if there's any left at dinner time!!! Thanks for a wonderful and easy recipe!

This was excellent and took 5 min to prepare!I used a yellow cake mix,added cinnamon to the dry cake mix and worked in 1 stick of softened butter until it formed crumbs. I also added cinnamon to the apple pie filling. I put the cake mix/butter mixture on top of the apples and gently pressed down. It came out excellent! Thanks for the recipe.
