I totally forgot to add the butter, and it was still AMAZING! I used home canned apple pie filling- an entire quart.

Super yummy! Not too sweet, the cake was moist and delicious. I did not have the ingredients for the frosting, so served it with cool whip instead. I also did not have walnuts - substituted with sliced almonds, which turned out great.

Very easy and very moist! Did recipe exactly as listed and it turned out great. Didn't do frosting (my family doesn't like frosting), instead just put some whipped topping on top. Really quick and easy.

5 stars for super easy and yummy. I used veg oil instead of butter, and lite cherry pie filling. My family is weird and does not like cream cheese frosting, so I made vanilla glaze which was good, but not as good as the cream cheese frosting would have been!

I never use apple pie filling so I substituted 4 medium diced apples. I put the frosting on, but found I like it better without. It just seemed too sweet. The frosting is awesome and I'll definitely use it on something else.

This recipe was a very big winner in my house. My husband is not much for cake, but he loved it and said it was one of the best that he has ever had. I did do a few things different though, instead of stirring the ingredients together I put them in a stand mixer on about medium speed, I also didn't use nuts or the icing. I used blueberry pie filling instead of apple and left out the cinnamon, baked it for about 45 min. in a glass pan. when it was done I sprinkled sugar on the top and put it in the broiler for about 2-3 min. and then let it cool for about 15 min. before cutting it. Needless to say the cake was gone within a matter of hours. I will be making this recipe again & again.

I've been looking for a good dump cake recipe that doesn't rely on a cake mix and this is it. It is easy and gets rave reviews each time I make it. I usually opt for a pineapple cake instead of using apple pie filling. Simply use a can of crushed pineapple in place of the pie filling. Also, I omit the butter from the icing so it is not so rich. It still comes out creamy and delicius.

This was good. I made it exactly as the recipe states, no surprises! It reminded us a bit of carrot cake. My second time around, I wanted to make cupcakes (muffins?) I wouldn't recommend doing this for this recipe. Even though I greased the heck out of the muffin tin, they wouldn't stay in one piece to come out of the tin. They're fairly sticky (and still delicious). My solution was to flip them over and frost the bottoms so that there was something solid for them to stand on!

Wonderful recipe, my family loves it and asks for it often. It comes out better when you double the apples and cinnamon.

Absolutely delicious. This is a variation of a recipe my family has been using for decades. The only change we make is to double the cinnamon and omit the icing. I sometimes substitute a half recipe of the Apple Spice Mix found on this website, if I want to spice it up just a bit.

We LOVED this cake. I had only a short time to come up with a dessert and wanted to use ingredients I had handy. Sooo, I used a raspberry pie filling instead of apple. I also used 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 white flour. Another substitution was 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. The cake turned out perfectly. I baked it in a Pampered Chef 13x9 baker and it made the sides a little crunchy which we liked. The walnuts actually made the cake taste a little more like a sweet bread than cake. But it was delicious. The FROSTING was absolutely perfect the way the recipe called for. I going to use it now for my standard in frosting. It was so easy, made just enough and cheaper than store bought. Thanks so much for submitting this recipe. We really enjoyed it and so did our guests.

Very nice and earns what I call the "Nelly award"...my term for recipes both extremely delicious and extremely easy in honor of a dear lady whose cooking talents are second to none. I didn't use apple pie filling as I didn't have any (and don't really care for the canned variety) so I used a can of pineapple with a couple hefty tablespoons of apple jelly, then added a half cup or so of coconut and subbed vanilla for cinnamon. What surprised me was that it was almost universally well liked. I thought it would appeal more to a select few with the changes I made. Go figure.

This was surprisingly good, and VERY sweet- I might cut back on the sugar next time. I used a can of strawberry pie filling and extra cinnamon, and it was so moist and sweet it did not need icing. A great recipe to experiment with!

This recipe was great - super moist, and the frosting was just sweet enough. I didn't add the nuts since I was serving it to kids, and it was still delicious. I also only put in 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and no one complained about it not being sweet enough. Thanks for an easy recipe!
