A few weeks ago I noticed that my Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake went CRAZY online!! It was my most popular post for several weeks and it’s such a great recipe! So today I’m sharing with you guys another take on the dump cake with this Carmel Apple Dump Cake recipe that’s PERFECT for fall!! I just love how this turned out and it’s like fall on a plate. I can’t stress enough how amazing it turned out!
Carmel Apple Dump Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 butter cake mix
- 1 large can apple pie filling
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
Topping
- 1/3 cup milk
- 5 tbsp butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking pan.
“Dump” all your cake ingredients together in a bowl and mix until blended and place in oven.
Bake cake for 30-35 minutes, pull out when done and let cool.
While cooling, start making your icing. Combine milk, butter, and sugar in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Let boil 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Once boiling, add butterscotch chips and continue to stir until melted.
Note: I had a hard time getting all the butterscotch chips to melt, so I actually ran my topping through a strainer to catch any of the unmelted chips. Then I poured the entire hot mixture over my cake.

November 14, 2015 at 2:59 pmCould you use the new unwrapped carmel bits for the icing? Use the same icing recipe but use the carmel bits instead of butterscotch, This looks so good . Can’t wait to try. Thank You

August 26, 2016 at 9:21 pmMake sure you do a toothpick test on the cake before taking it out of the oven! I just made this cake and when I poured the frosting on, the emtire middle caved in. Why? Because it was still complete goo in the middle!! And yes, I baked for a full 35 mins In a preheated oven. Unfortunately I didn’t realized it wasn’t fully baked until I frosted it so there was nothing I could do but throw it out. Very sad.

March 3, 2018 at 10:19 pmThis cake is sooo good! It’s not the typical dump cake that’s really more like a cobbler… This is more cakey, and that’s exactly what I wanted.
The only thing I changed was that I cut the apple slices in the pie filling into smaller pieces… just ran a knife through it a few times.
The butterscotch frosting is awesome!
We enjoyed this cake warm, with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream.
Thanks so much for the recipe!
