Description
This Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Apple Cinnamon Dump Cake is tender, gooey, and bursting
with warm cinnamon-spiced apple flavor. The cake mix transforms into a buttery crumble topping,
creating the perfect contrast to the soft apples beneath. It’s a crowd-pleasing dessert that
feels homemade with almost zero effort.
Tips
- Add crunch: Mix in a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts on top before cooking.
- Extra cinnamon: Dust cinnamon or apple pie spice over the cake mix for stronger flavor.
- Prevent dryness: Make sure the butter fully covers the cake mix so no dry patches remain.
- Lining tip: Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
- Flavor twist: Use caramel apple pie filling or drizzle caramel sauce on top after cooking.
Correction
If your cake turns out too dry, increase the butter slightly or add ½ cup of apple juice over the cake
mix before cooking. If it’s too mushy, cook it uncovered for the final 20 minutes to allow steam to escape.
Enjoy
Serve this warm, comforting dessert straight from the slow cooker with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
and enjoy the delicious smell and flavor of apples and cinnamon in every bite!
