Oatmeal Apple Pie Dump Cake
Oh darling, let me tell you—if there’s one thing this diva loves, it’s a sweet treat that doubles as breakfast. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to start their day with a little bit of dessert?
Enter the Oatmeal Apple Pie Dump Cake, a fabulous concoction that’s like eating pie for breakfast, but with the wholesome flair of oats.
Now, before you judge me for having cake for breakfast, let me remind you that oats are practically health food, right? (Just don’t ask my trainer.)
This recipe is perfect for those mornings when you want to be a little bit naughty but still tell yourself you’re being good.
The best part? It’s as easy as pie—literally. No need to break a sweat in the kitchen; just dump, bake, and enjoy. Serve it warm with a dollop of yogurt or, if you’re really feeling sassy, a scoop of ice cream.
Because darling, you deserve it!
Oatmeal Apple Pie Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 1 21-ounce can apple pie filling
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional, but come on, live a little!
Instructions
- Fire up that oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a 9x13 inch baking dish. Preferably one that’s been around the block a few times—because this dump cake is all about keeping it real.
- Take that can of apple pie filling and dump it into the dish. Spread it out like you’re working on your next big art project, even if the canvas is just a baking dish.
- Time to sprinkle the oats and brown sugar over the apple pie filling. This is your moment to shine. Channel your inner diva and let that sweetness flow.
- Pour the cake mix over the oats and brown sugar. And resist the urge to stir—it’s supposed to look a little dry and unimpressive. Trust me, it’s all part of the magic.
- Drizzle that melted butter all over the cake mix, giving it a luxurious bath in buttery goodness. Sprinkle on the cinnamon, and if you’re feeling extra fancy, toss those pecans on top. Go on, indulge a little.
- Slide that beauty into the oven for about 45 minutes or until it’s golden brown and your kitchen smells like a fall dream come true.
- Let it cool slightly before diving in. And if you really want to treat yourself (and who wouldn’t?), serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Because life’s too short not to.

Diva's Sweet Suggestions
Spice Up Your Life:
Add a teaspoon of ground nutmeg and a pinch of ground cloves to the mix. This will give your dump cake a warm, spicy kick, like a sassy wink from a pumpkin spice latte.
Cran-Apple Craze:
Mix in half a cup of dried cranberries with the apple pie filling. The tartness of the cranberries will balance the sweetness and add a bit of zing, making your dump cake the talk of the town.
Bourbon Bliss:
Before adding the apple pie filling, toss the apples with a shot (or two) of bourbon. It’ll give your cake a rich, caramel-like flavor. Just make sure to label it “adults only” to avoid any surprised kiddos.
Presentation Suggestions:
Serve this dump cake in your most well-loved baking dish, the one with a few dings and scratches—it adds character!
Place it on a rustic wooden board, sprinkle a few extra oats and pecans on top, and finish with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
For an extra cozy vibe, scatter some cinnamon sticks and whole apples around the dish, and maybe throw in a flannel tablecloth if you’re feeling extra festive!
