This easy crockpot apple dump cake is the perfect fall dessert—just layer apples, cake mix, and butter, then let your slow cooker do the magic!

Ingredients

57 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin

¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar (optional, depending on apple sweetness)

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided

1 (15 oz) box yellow cake mix (or spice cake mix)

½ cup (43 g) quick-cooking oats

½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, sliced thin

Instructions

Spray crockpot with nonstick cooking spray.

Place sliced apples in the bottom. Sprinkle with sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.

In a bowl, stir together cake mix, oats, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over apples.

Place butter slices evenly over the cake mix layer.

Cover crockpot with a paper towel, then secure lid on top.

Cook on high for 4 hours, checking occasionally to prevent burning (rotate liner if one side cooks faster).

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For a shortcut, use 2 cans of apple pie filling instead of fresh apples.

Swap yellow cake mix for spice cake mix for extra fall flavor.

Add chopped pecans or walnuts over the apples before topping with cake mix.

To bake in the oven: place everything in a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 35–45 minutes.

This dessert is naturally very sweet; omit added sugar if you prefer less sweetness.
