Apple Dump Cake

(Taken from http://alizadventures.blogspot.com)

This is the simplest, yet most delicious fall recipe I've found. It requires only three ingredients and it takes only 10 minutes to prep. How could something so easy turn out so delicious? If the kitchen isn't your hot spot and you need to make a dessert for a fall party or Thanksgiving, then no need to worry. This is your go-to recipe. A mouthful of warm, gooey apple crisp is all you need to warm yourself up on a cool autumn day. :)

INGREDIENTS

5 apples (my favorite kind are Honey Crisp)
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 1/2 sticks of butter
dust of cinnamon (optional)
dust of brown sugar (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Slice your apples thinly (I got 12 slices out of each apple) and place on the bottom of a 9x13 pan that's been sprayed with non-stick spray. Open your cake mix and pour about 3/4 of the dry cake mix (DON'T MIX TOGETHER) over the apples. Once the cake mix is spread evenly over the apples, melt 1 1/2 sticks of butter in the microwave and pour evenly over the apples and cake mix. Make sure the butter covers as much space as possible.

Finally, pop your pan into the oven for 25-35 minutes. ** If you find that some of your cake mix still looks powdery while baking, you can try sprinkling a few tablespoons of water over those areas to ensure thorough cooking. Once it's done, take it out, and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it if desired (it makes it 10x more flavorful, trust me!). For serving: Heat in the microwave and serve with vanilla ice cream.
