Apple, Cranberry and Pear Dump Cake
This Apple, Cranberry and Pear Dump Cake is perfect for Fall. This is my first attempt at making a dump cake and I must say I am quite impressed with not only the ease of the making but the flavor as well.
I can’t express enough how perfect this Apple, Cranberry Pear Dump Cake is for the Holiday season. In a pinch for time? Having a last minute dinner party? You have got to make this cake! This cake takes the word “easy” to a whole other level! Perfect for your next church social.
Why use the “dump” in a title? Because that’s literally what you do! Dump all the ingredients into a pan and bake! No frosting needed. The creamy cake mix on top will serve as your sweet topping.
Don’t forget to pin this recipe to your cake or holiday baking boards!

You’re Welcome!
Has anyone ever tried a white cake for this?
Hi Jim, I haven’t maybe someone else has. It would work, (as far as the recipe goes) not sure about the taste.
Mine took 10 minutes longer to cook. Temperature was right on in my oven.
Hi Roberta, Not all ovens bake the same. It’s great that you knew to adjust the baking time. I’m glad it worked out for you.
This is an amazing recipe! I made it Sunday night to make sure it turned out and I’m making it now for Thanksgiving! The only thing I will do different is put the caramel on after it’s baked and per serving. Once it cooled it got a little chewy. Definitely a keeper! Thank you Lady Behind The Curtain!!
Awww…Thank you Christine for taking the time to right this nice comment. I hope you had a delicious Thanksgiving!
I made this cake for Thanksgiving several years. Now it is a staple in not only my kitchen but in some of the relatives visiting took the recipe to their homes. Delicious and easy!
Awww…that’s so cool Kathi!
I baked this but used Caramel apple pie filling instead
And, no Caramel syrup on top. Still turned out great! Thank you! 😊
That’s awesome Heidi!
