Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well when baked and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Prepare the Apples Properly: Peel and slice the apples thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a 9x13 inch Baking Dish: This is the ideal size for this recipe. A smaller dish will make the cake too thick, while a larger dish will make it too thin.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake Until Golden Brown: The cake is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top of the cake should be golden brown.
  • Serve the Cake Warm or Cold: This cake is delicious served warm or cold. If you serve it warm, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple dump cake is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in minutes.
