Apple Pie Filling Dump Cake

Dump Cake Recipes are one of my cake mix hacks. I love using a cake mix as an ingredient to help me bake an easy, delicious recipe. For this recipe, I use the cake mix to form the crumble topping.

Dump Cake Recipes all pair well either homemade vanilla ice cream or even homemade whipped cream. However, if you're pressed for time, a can of whipped cream is just as good.

Food Safety Tips

Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind when baking this recipe:

• Be careful when using a Pyrex-style baking dish for this recipe. There have been reports of them exploding either in the oven or after you take the dish out of the oven to cool down. Apparently this is due to introducing sudden temperature changes to the baking dish. It can happen when you put a cold dish into a hot oven or when you take a hot dish out of the oven and place it on a cold counter top. For more information, read the article from Well and Good.
• If you do use a Pyrex baking dish, try not to set the hot dish on a cold countertop. Place it on top of a dishtowel or even a few pot holders.
• If you are prepping this recipe ahead of time and have it stored in the refrigerator, make sure the baking dish comes to room temperature before placing it in the preheated oven.
