Ingredients for Crockpot Apple Dump Cake
Apple Pie Filling – You can use regular or sugar-free if desired, both taste great.
Yellow Cake Mix – Substitute for other flavors if desired.
Brown Sugar – Measure this ingredient lightly packed.
Cinnamon
Unsalted Butter
Can I Use A Different Pie Filling Flavor?
Yes! If you want to make a different flavored dump cake try peach pie filling. If you experiment with something else, be sure to let me know how it comes out.
Instead of Apple Pie Filling, Can I Use Real Apples?
Yes, but this will alter the recipe slightly. If you use real apples I recommend Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These are great for baking and tend to stay firm. Add about 5-7 peeled and chopped apples to the bottom of the crockpot and sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon. Then follow the rest of the instructions.
