Ingredients
8-10 apples, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
juice of 1 lemon
2 heaping teaspoons cornstarch
1 Tablespoon butter
1 cake mix, dry (I used Duncan Hines Butter Golden cake mix)
1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted
2 Tablespoons cinnamon sugar
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel, core and chop your apples. Place chopped apples into a 9x13 baking dish. Mix in sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cook apples for 20 minutes. Apples will shrink and release juice.
2. Push apples back with large spoon and drain the juice from the baking dish (you could save the juice to make an *apple glaze if you like). Stir cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon of butter into cooked apples. Level out apples in pan.
3. Dump cake mix over top of the apples. Spread it out evenly.
4. Drizzle melted butter on top of the dry cake mix.
5. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top and bake for about 35 minutes. Let cool and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes: *If you would like to make an apple glaze, simply mix powdered sugar into reserved apple juice until you get the right consistency. I didn't make the glaze because I thought this dessert was already sweet enough.
Also, original recipe says to butter the baking dish before adding the chopped apples. I forgot, but I had no problem with anything sticking to the baking dish.

| I LOVE fresh apples! |
 |
| See the specks of cinnamon mixed into the apples with the sugar and lemon juice, yum! |
 |
| Here's the juice that I drained after the apples had cooked (save it if you'd like to make a glaze). Don't forget to stir in the cornstarch and tablespoon of butter AFTER you drain the apples. |
 |
| This is what makes this a Dump Cake! I dumped the cake mix right on top of the cooked apples. |
 |
| So easy! |
 |
| Drizzle the melted butter right on top of the cake mix. |

| Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top and it's ready for the oven. |

THAT LOOKS AND SOUNDS AWESOME,ONE QUESTION HOW DO I MAKE APPLE GLAZE WITH THE JUICE
ReplyDeleteTo make the apple glaze, simply add powdered sugar to the juice that you drain from the cooked apples. The amount depends on how much juice you have. Start with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and stir until you get the consistency you want. Add more powdered sugar if needed
DeleteAnd a way to make this real super easy is to take a large can (or 2 regular sized cans) of apple pie filling, toss them in the bottom of your baking dish, pour the dry cake mix on top and drizzle melted butter over top and pop it in the oven. Some of us don't have access to or the patience to peel and chop apples.
ReplyDeleteUsing canned apple pie filling would be quicker and easier, but nothing beats fresh apples. One of the things I like about this recipe is that you basically make your our own apple filling in the baking dish before adding the cake mix on top. I think its worth the eztra effort. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you Jenny!
DeleteWould it be o.k. to not drain the juice from the apples? I'm thinking the cake mix would absorb the juice and create a moister dessert?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I've never made this without draining the apples. If you give it a try, please stop by again and let me know how yours turns out. Thank you!
DeleteI made this today and did not drain the juice. It was amazing! Thank you!
