Common Questions:
How Many Cans Of Apple Pie Filling Is Needed For This Recipe?
Because can sizes vary we have listed the apple pie filling as 29 ounces. That being said, the average can of pie filling is about 14 – 15 ounces so you will want to use 2 cans of apple pie filling as long as the total pie filling falls close to the 29 ounce range.
Can I Use Pecans Instead Of Walnuts In This Spiced Apple Dump Cake Recipe?
Absolutely! If walnuts are not your thing or you have pecans instead of walnuts in your pantry feel free to swap them out! I think apples and pecans are a great combination!
I Am Allergic To Nuts, It’s Okay To Omit The Nuts In This Recipe Right?
Nut allergies are a serious thing and this recipe will totally work just fine if you leave out the nuts. That is why they are listed as optional in the recipe box. That being said, if you have a nut allergy it is important to read the labels carefully of all ingredients used in this recipe such as the boxed cake mix, oats and even the canned apple pie filling to make sure there are no hidden nuts or the products are not processed in a facility that also handles nuts.

I made this recipe over the weekend and when done after 2 hours on high, it looked the same as when I first put it in the pot. I cooled the crock pot and cooked it again the next day but this time I added a 1/4 c of water, cooked on low for 4 hours and it came out perfect!
This looks fabulous and i love those desserts with are both sweet and also have a little tang to em. Will definitely be giving this one a try 🙂 seems perfect for holiday season.
I did not read the recipe for Apple Dump Cake, I just used 2 cans of apples in place of cherries. It came out great!
Afterwards I looked up the recipe and realized that I left out a few ingredients. My Bad!
As long as it came out great, I think that is all that matters Linda 🙂
i know it says 29 ounces in ingredients but it wold be better to say 2 cans of.
i got all other stuff ready and only had 1 can of fruit.. doesn’t work the same if you only use 1/2 the mixture. something was missing for sure. will try again with all the ingredients.
Hi Gail, we use ounces instead of “cans of” because can sizes differ. We feel it is more accurate to use measurements whenever possible.
Could fresh apples be used with this recipe? If so, what would need to be adjusted? Time? Ingredients? Maybe both? Thanks so much.
This recipe has not been tested with fresh apples. If you give it a try come back and let us know how it turned out for you.
Hi! I made this to bring to a Thanksgiving celebration today. I used a 4-quart oval Crockpot, and two 21oz cans of apple pie filling (that’s what the store had.) I also used a full cup of melted butter, because the oat+cake mix looked a little dry. The “dump cake” turned out fabulous and was a huge hit amongst guests! Lol, people actually asked if I had a name for “my” delicious desert! Thanks a lot, ladies! ❤️
So glad you and your Thanksgiving guests enjoyed the dump cake Sara!
