Hello everyone and welcome back. Today I
0:04
am going to show you how to make a
0:06
delicious fall dessert. It's only three
0:09
ingredients. You can whip this up in no
0:11
time flat. Takes very minimal dishes.
0:15
We're going to start off with a pie
0:17
filling, a 9 by13 baking dish, and grab
0:21
your fall shirt so you can get in the
0:23
mood.
0:25
All right, you guys. You ready? Speaking
0:28
of that first ingredient, go ahead and
0:30
get your can of apple pie filling. This
0:32
is 21 oz. And we're going to place it in
0:36
the bottom of our baking dish.
0:45
Let's smell.
0:47
Oh, I can smell the spice in there. It
0:51
smells like fall, too. It just came
0:52
right out of the can. Did y'all catch
0:55
it? Let me go get my spatula. We're
0:58
going to toss this all into our baking
1:00
dish like it's a tossed salad.
1:04
We don't need extra bowls or dishes for
1:06
this. It's going to come together like
1:09
in five minutes and then you just bake
1:11
it.
1:12
But it's going to taste delicious. Bring
1:15
this for the Thanksgiving table. Or if
1:18
you have a potluck coming up, you can
1:20
easily throw this one together.
1:24
My kids will appreciate this one.
1:26
They have to come over here and get it
1:28
though.
1:30
Okay, we're going to evenly spread it.
1:33
And I feel honestly
1:37
that it needs some more cinnamon in here
1:40
to really drive up that fall flavor. So,
1:43
I'm going to sprinkle some cinnamon on
1:45
top. That's not one of the three
1:47
ingredients, but it's an extra.
1:51
So, it's optional.
1:52
It's optional. Yes. Thomas will be
1:55
happy.
1:55
Yes, I will.
1:57
He loves his cinnamon. Just sprinkle a
2:00
little bit. There we go. Cinnamon's good
2:02
for you anyway, right,
2:04
Thomas?
2:07
Just a little sprinkling.
2:10
Now, if your apples are big in your
2:12
baking dish and you want them smaller,
2:14
like bite-sized pieces, you can just
2:15
take a knife and just cut them just like
2:18
that.
2:20
Some of them are pretty big.
2:23
All right. Now, you can see the second
2:25
ingredient sitting next to me. You know
2:27
what's good about a dump cake is you can
2:29
use any pie filling in any box of cake
2:32
mix. You can make a pumpkin one also.
2:35
Put that pumpkin pie filling down it.
2:37
Make sure it's a pumpkin pie filling and
2:39
not just your pumpkin puree, okay?
2:40
Because it's got all the good stuff in
2:42
it. If you want to put a spice cake mix
2:44
in here, that would be really good.
2:48
I'm using a yellow one though today. All
2:51
right. one box of cake mix. And now
2:54
what's good about it, it doesn't matter
2:57
the size of it. All right, around the 15
3:00
mark of ounces,
3:04
cuz we're not mixing anything with this
3:06
in a separate bowl. We're just going to
3:07
sprinkle this on top of our apples
3:12
nice and evenly.
3:17
You're going to go across once and
3:18
you're probably going to go back over
3:20
again.
3:22
I'm going to loosen that up a little bit
3:23
so I don't get a big old clump in there.
3:29
We're not mixing this in. This is kind
3:31
of a magic cake they call it. Also,
3:36
put the whole thing on.
3:40
Now, I'm going to get a fork and I'm
3:41
going to evenly
3:43
disperse the cake mix across the top.
3:47
And we're not going to be doing pats of
3:49
butter for this. So, I'm going to show
3:50
you what we're going to do to really get
3:52
it nice and even across the top.
3:56
All right, we got that. Let's go look at
3:58
the next ingredient.
4:01
Hey, I should put these in.
4:04
Chopped walnuts.
4:07
Apples and walnuts go together, don't
4:09
they? For fall.
4:11
And these will add a nice crunch. I love
4:14
that. Let's go ahead and just sprinkle
4:16
some on top. These are already chopped.
4:20
And that is also optional.
4:23
Yes, it is for Thomas.
4:27
I don't mind. I love walnuts. And then
4:30
with apples, with the sweetness.
4:35
All right, that's good right there.
4:37
We're going to throw them back at them.
4:39
I wasn't expecting this to come at me.
4:43
[Laughter]
4:47
We got butter.
4:50
Yeah, we're not cutting the butter and
4:52
putting it across the top in little
4:54
slats. All right, we're going to melt
4:57
the butter.
4:59
And I'm going to show you how this is
5:00
going to work. Let me get my knife here.
5:03
All right, we're going to put one and a
5:05
half sticks into a measuring cup.
5:09
Something that is microwave proof.
5:15
We don't want sparks with this.
5:18
A
5:22
One more.
5:27
There we go. All right. Give it about a
5:30
minute in the microwave. Make sure it's
5:31
all melted. And we're going to pour it
5:33
over the cake. Kind of like a drizzle.
5:41
Just try to get it everywhere.
5:50
Yeah, this is going to be a good one.
5:52
You have all the different flavors you
5:54
can do for this.
5:56
Here we go.
5:58
Okay, we're going to place this in the
6:00
oven. I have it at 350°.
6:03
We're going to bake this for 40 to 45
6:06
minutes till the crust gets nice and
6:08
golden brown and the apples kind of peek
6:11
through and look nice and bubbly.
6:14
We're going to grab a big spoon and give
6:16
it a try for you.
6:18
It took about 45 minutes in the oven. I
6:21
pulled it out. I let it rest for about
6:23
five minutes so it can kind of pull
6:24
itself together and we don't burn our
6:26
mouths. Let's go in.
6:29
Oh, those are the apples.
6:35
Look at that cake part on here. I don't
6:39
even see like the cake flour on there at
6:41
all. Now it looks like a cobbler.
6:44
Yeah.
6:46
Let's get a bowl. We're going to put
6:48
some in. I'm putting some ice cream in
6:50
with it.
6:54
Y'all look at that.
6:59
The house smells amazing. Like a fresh
7:03
apple pie right out of the oven on a
7:06
cool fall day.
7:09
bring them in and you don't have to do
7:11
all that work. All right, I got my ice
7:14
cream.
7:16
I got my bite right here.
7:18
Let's go in.
7:27
Bring it home. Add some extra cinnamon
7:31
and those walnuts for a crunch.
7:35
M m.
7:37
All right, you guys, give me a thumbs up
7:39
on this one, our apple pie dump cake.
7:43
