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.
