How to Make Applesauce Dump Cake With Spiced Dusting Sugar

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In the prepared pan, spread out an even layer of the applesauce.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until just combined. Don't overmix!
  4. Crumble the cake batter evenly over the applesauce layer.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, prepare the spiced dusting sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  7. Once the cake is baked, let it cool slightly before sprinkling generously with the spiced dusting sugar.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! Optional serving suggestions: a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
