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!
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.

Could 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
Gayle, maybe you could….I’m not sure 🙂 Let me know if you try it that way!
I LIKE Dump cakes!!!
This is just the one I have been waiting for. Thank you so much.
Could you make this in a crock pot?
I have found that Hershey’s Brand chips melt the best- try that
Make 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.
Oh Beth…I’m so sorry to hear that. Yes, of course, definitely check…everyone’s ovens are a little different. Hopefully you have better luck next time! xoxo
Love this site. It will be the first time I have a dump cake.
Thanks, Mary! Hope you enjoy it!
This 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!
