What Ingredients Are in Cranberry-Apple Dump Cake?

• Apple pie filling: Canned apple pie filling has come a long way and contains peeled and sliced apples, sweetener, spices, and a thickener. It’s the perfect jump-start for your holiday desserts.
• Whole berry cranberry sauce: Dump cakes tend to be on the sweeter side, but mixing whole berry cranberry sauce with the apples gives the dessert welcome tartness and a ruby-red color.
• Yellow or white cake mix: Spread the entire box of dry cake mix over the fruit filling in an even layer. 
• Unsalted butter: Cover the cake mix with thin slices of unsalted butter, so that when it melts the topping will have a sweet, buttery crunch.

How Do You Make Cranberry-Apple Dump Cake?

1. Mix the fruit. Combine 1 can of apple pie filling and 2 cans whole berry cranberry sauce in a baking dish.
2. Add cake mix. Yellow or white cake mix pairs nicely with the flavors of apple and cranberry.
3. Top with unsalted butter. Cut unsalted butter into thin slices rather than melting it for the best coverage.
4. Bake. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden-brown with a crispy crust.

What Is the Biggest Mistake to Avoid When Making Dump Cake?

If this is your first time making a dump cake, it may appear that we’ve forgotten an important instruction — stirring. But stirring is exactly what you do not want to do for this style of dessert. Dump the ingredients into the baking dish in the order listed, sandwiching the dry cake mix between butter and fruit so that it bakes up between a cake and a cobbler.

How Do You Store Cranberry-Apple Dump Cake?
