Three basic pantry ingredients are all that is needed for this Ninja Foodi Apple Dump Cake! If you are a fan of dump cakes than you will be over the moon excited for this rich and flavorful apple dump cake recipe. The Ninja Foodi gives it the perfect cake crust, with a tender apple filling bottom. 

Dump cakes tend to be my go-to desserts for a quick weeknight dessert. I also find they are a perfect cake to make for when you have unexpected guests coming over and you want something sweet to serve with your coffee or iced tea. I have tried all methods of making dump cakes, from my oven to Instant Pot and now the Ninja Foodi! 

Delicious Ninja Foodi Apple Dump Cake 

This Ninja Foodi Apple Dump Cake is another delicious dump cake made in my Ninja Foodi.  I have made dump cake’s the traditional way in the oven and fell in love with them. You would be amazed at all the different dump cake varieties I have made over the years.sum

I must say my all time favorite way to make dump cakes is in my Ninja Foodi.  There is something so magical that happens while cooking in the Foodi it enhances the flavor to all-time deliciousness levels. It is creamy, tender, and absolutely delicious and simple to make. I love to serve my dump cake while it is still warm and serve it with vanilla ice cream.

Accessory Needed For Ninja Foodi  Apple Dump Cake 

For this dump cake, I have cooked it in a 9″ Pie Tin. You can also make the dump cake directly in your cooking pot.  Please refer to the cooking directions for my Ninja Foodi Lemon Dump Cake, which was cooked directly in the cooking pot.

I find that using the pie tin helps make a prettier appearance if you are serving up guests. But, if it is just us our family, I sometimes go the pot route, it just depends. 

What Are The Ingredients In A Dump Cake 

For this specific recipe, all that is needed is a cake mix, apple pie filling, and butter. I am totally for real on how easy it is to assemble, and you would be amazed at how decadent it turns out when all it needs is 3 ingredients. 

What Is Dump Cake 

If you are new to the world of dump cakes, they are so easy. I like to call it the lazy dessert recipe we all dream about. You literally dump ingredients together, turn on the oven or in this case, your Ninja Foodi and cook. Then pull out and you have a bottom layer of filling, topped with tender and light cake. 

What Is the Difference Between A Dump Cake and Cobbler 

Both are very similar, and I could see how some would ask is there a difference between a cobbler and a dump cake recipe. They both have a fruit filling that is topped with a cake-like or streusel topping. Generally, cobblers go for a streusel topping that has brown sugar, flour, and oats, whereas a dump cake is a cake mix. 

As you can see not much effort goes into making an apple dump cake! But I will warn you, they are so addictive, and once you start making dump cakes, you will never look back!
