This delicious easy apple cake recipe is a snap to make! Also known as apple dump cake, it takes just one bowl and one baking pan and you are on your way to apple goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • One 21 ounce can apple pie filling
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9 inch round casserole or springform pan and preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix together all ingredients except raisins and nuts until well-combined. Stir in nuts and raisins and transfer mixture to baking dish.
  3. Bake until deep golden brown, about an hour and 15 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out almost clean – start testing after cake has baked for an hour.
  4. Let cool, and serve with caramel sauce.

Notes

    • Nuts: You can leave out the nuts if you don’t like them, or if you are taking this cake to a party where you want to be respectful of nut allergies. You can also swap in pecans for the walnuts if you like those better.

    • Raisins: Same with the raisins – you can either leave them out, or you can swap in dried cranberries.

    • Caramel Sauce: We love this cake just the way it is, but if you pour some caramel sauce over the top you will go straight to apple cake heaven. Look for the caramel sauce near the frozen food section (because it goes so well with ice cream!)
