I'm wondering about a spice cake mix and apples? Sounds good doesn't it??

I made this in the oven once, but did NOT like choc. cake & cherry pie filling. Pie cherries are wrong flavor for chocolate cake. I say this, as my husband & I are splitting a 3 pound box of light & dark chocolate covered cherries, so I love the maraschino flavor but not the pie filling flavor. Yellow cake mix & cherries pie filling - I can eat entire pan! If using just this amount, cut butter to half this proportion and half cake mix, or just double the pie filling. I have NOT made in slow cooker, but have made recipe for DECADES. LOVE THIS STUFF!

if your making this in a crock pot, be sure and put several layers of paper towels UNDER THE LID..It will absorb the moisture. Which makes the choc cake soggy. It works well.

I don't think there is such a thing as too-chocolatey, is there? There isn't in my world anyway. LOL!
Tammilee
I agree!
Kristen
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but in the instructions written, it says combine "dry" cake mix with the butter. Does that mean you don't make the cake mix with it's regular ingredients(as if I was just making a regular cake with the dry mix), then mix with the butter?
Tammilee
Hi, You don't make the cake mix as normal. You just mix the dry ingredients with the butter.
I hope this helps!
Julie
could I make the chocolet dump cake in a 9 by 13 pan and bake in oven
Joanne
Hi Julie - Yes, you can bake this in the oven. Pour in the pie filling, then sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the filling. You can slice the butter into pats, and place those on the cake mix. I usually melt the butter and drizzle over the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.

Looks like a huge yummy mess! I will be adding this to my list of things to try soon!

Do you leave the lid on or off for the dump cakes . Made the apple caramel one today but it was sticky just wondering because it doesn't say But I must say the pot is empty and everyone loved it anyway!
Irene Ginori
You think i could make it with white cake mix and canned apple or peach?
Tammilee
Irene, This recipe works great with peaches or apples. It tastes amazing!
