Whether you fancy the idea of mini desserts served in ramekins, need a Holiday recipe to make (without all the frills) or you're simply looking to make a sweet treat without baking an entire pie, I got you. This spiced apple dump cake is super easy to make and the perfect dessert, especially during the fall and winter months and over the Holidays. It's warm, fluffy, cozy and decadent...just like an apple pie in cake form but without all the fuss and mess!
Best of all, I formulated this recipe for when I had a couple measly apples on hand, had an aching sweet tooth, but didn't want a dessert made for 17 people. This spiced apple dump cake recipe only calls for a handful of ingredients you likely have on hand, and it's practically effortless.
A forewarning for this recipe, and among most ramekin recipes: everyone’s ovens work differently, so temperature and bake time will vary. As for ingredient variations: I haven’t tried every variation and substitution, but I am sure they will work just fine – you just have to be willing to experiment!
Apple pie meets dump cake in this sweet, 2-servings treat. This isn't your ordinary microwave mug cake but oven-baked to perfection, so it actually looks and tastes like the real thing. It's simple and super easy to put together without having to make an entire pie or pan. Garnish with caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if you wish!
*Baking time variation: I curated this [basically] single-serving recipe on my own trial and error. That means everyone's ovens are going to be different and depending on what size ramekin you use, baking times and optimal temperature for this dish may vary. Personally, I only need to bake this recipe for 20 minutes, whereas others may need up to 25-30 minutes cook time.
