I made this for my husband's birthday and he absolutely loved it! We took it over to his family's house to share and everyone there loved it too! It's true that it is more of a cobbler than a cake, but then so are all dump cakes. Absolutely wonderful served warm with vanilla ice cream. Thanks so much for the great recipe!

Very yummy. I used three cans of pie filling (I was making this for a big crowd), I only used cinnamon and sugar, and also, after reading reviews, I cut the butter (cold) into the dry cake mix until it looked crumbly and then poured the mix over the apples and it baked perfectly. I like that it is sweet and it has a great texture after sitting out for a few hours, so make this a few hours ahead of time. YUM.

This cake was DEE-LISH!! I've made it several times, and loved it each time. It's so easy to make. The first time I made it exactly as written, and it was great. My kids thought it was a bit too spicy though, so the second time I made it I did two teaspoons of cinnamon and only 1/2 teaspoon each of nutmeg and allspice. For my taste, I liked it better with the increased cinnamon and less spices, but it really was delicious made both ways.

I followed the recipe as written and it was wonderful! Made it in two square pans and shared it with a friend. She found it hidden in her kids' linen closet where they were trying to hide it from her because she was eating all of it!

This was really good with ice cream. Lots of spice taste. In the future, I'll only make this if I'm serving a large group. A lot of it went to waste. :(

Well, it sounded good so I gave it a try. I don't make dessert often but when I do it usually disappears....this one didn't. Maybe it's just because my family is used to the dump cake I make with cherry pie filling and pineapple. Thanks for the chance though....I guess it just wasn't for us.

After reading the other reviews I decided to leave out most of the extra spices. I just sprinkled a little cinnamon and nutmeg over the canned apple filling before dumping the cake mix on top. Tasted great.... loved the toasted pecans on top. I'll make this often, it's so easy and delicious!

This is one of my all time favorites. It is easy, quick and very, very yummy. I made one before church the other morning and it was a big hit.

My co-workers and boyfriend who think the Better than Sex Cake II is too sweet LOVED this cake. Simple to make. I did halve the spices, but use only 1/4 of fresh ground nutmeg. And the longer this cake sits the goopy-ier and tastier it gets. I was a doubter when I had to pour a dry cake mix on the apples, but it baked perfectly. Very nice!

This recipe is simple to prepare and tastes great especially the next day when the top is really crunchy. I would recommend mixing the butter and dry cake mix as much as possible before putting on top of apples. When baked mine still had dry cake mix in the center.

I really enjoyed this cake. Made it for "Friday Treats" at work and most people seemed to enjoy it. I did use 1/2 of the nutmeg and allspice and only 1 1/2 cans of apples. I cooked it before I left for work in the morning and it only took about 5 minutes to put together. You can't beat that! Thanks for the easy and tasty recipe!

As suggested, used l l/2 cans pie filling. Looked like way too much topping and only used half. Thought it was too sweet. Would use even less topping but probably won't make again.

This recipe turned out very well, or so I heard. I sent this along with my husband to a potluck, and he reported back that nothing but crumbs were left! I used a german chocolate cake mix, two cans of cherry pie filling, and chopped walnuts. Thank you, I will make this again for myself.

I made this exactly as the recipe is written and thought it was a great fall treat. Smells wonderful, and it's easy to make. I would halve the allspice next time because I thought its flavor overpowered the other spices a bit. The only bad thing is that the topping got soft the next day. Still tasted great though.
