Nani's Easy Apple Dump Cake
A super simple dessert that tastes just like a homemade apple cobbler without all the hard work.
recipesbynani.comThis apple dump cake is my go to recipe when I want something sweet but do not have time to bake from scratch. It is incredibly easy to put together because you do not even need to stir the ingredients.
My biggest tip is to make sure you spread that butter evenly over the dry cake mix. This ensures every bite gets nice and golden without any dry powdery spots left behind.
