Fried Apple Cinnamon Dump Cake
Well, look who’s decided to join the land of the fried!
If you thought dump cakes were the queen of easy desserts, wait until you meet her crunchy cousin, the Fried Apple Cinnamon Dump Cake.
It’s all the apple pie vibes you love, but in a quick-fry format that’ll make your kitchen smell like a cozy fall festival. Plus, you get all the crispy goodness without even touching your oven—hallelujah!
Just dump, mix, fry, and ta-da! You’ve got little apple fritter patties that are begging for a scoop of ice cream (or two, I won’t tell).
Now, I’ll be honest—frying isn’t usually my thing because, well, I’m more of a “set it and forget it” kind of diva. But for this beauty? Oh honey, I’ll stand by that frying pan like it’s a red carpet.
If you want to impress your friends, your family, or even just your taste buds, this dump cake’s got your back.
It’s crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and packed with enough cinnamon goodness to make you feel like you just walked through a cloud of fall.
Fried Apple Cinnamon Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 21-ounce cans apple pie filling (because peeling apples is for people with more time than me)
- 1 box spice cake mix the secret ingredient that makes you look like a genius
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter because butter makes everything better
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to make your kitchen smell like a fall wonderland
- Oil for frying vegetable or canola, your choice—I won’t judge
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the apple pie filling, cake mix, and cinnamon. This is your shortcut to fall heaven, no peeling or slicing involved.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in enough oil to coat the bottom. This is where the magic happens!
- Drop spoonfuls of the apple mixture into the hot oil, forming adorable little apple fritters. Fry them for 3-4 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and looking irresistibly crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Yes, we’re frying, but we’re still civilized.
- Serve warm, and if you’re feeling fancy, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Because why not?

Diva's Sweet Suggestions
Caramel Apple:
Drizzle some caramel sauce over the top. It’s like a fair on your plate, minus the Ferris wheel.
Nutty Crunch:
Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the apple mixture. Gives it a crunch that’ll make you feel like a baking champion.
Raisin Addition:
Throw in 1/2 cup of raisins. It’s like adding an extra burst of sweetness, but in a “grandma knows best” kind of way.
Presentation Suggestions:
Serve these golden apple fritters on a rustic wooden board for that “fresh from the orchard” vibe.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel for extra flair, and don’t forget to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for the final touch—you know, like you totally didn’t just dump and fry.
