Apple Dump Cake is one of those desserts that everyone asks for your recipe after the first bite. It is also known for its ease of preparation. All you have to do is layer the ingredients and top them with plenty of butter before baking.
Apple Dump Cake is traditionally made from incredibly sugary tinned fruit and is a store-bought cake mix. Instead of mixing the cake with oil or butter and eggs, the fruit cake mixture is layered in a baking dish and drizzled over it with a sea of melted butter.
Our updated version of this cake is certainly an occasional treat, but made with fresh apples and a paleo-friendly dry mix, it's a super-quick option for dessert. If you want to cut down on carbohydrates, you can use a granulated monk fruit sweetener instead of coconut sugar. And if you're short on time and don't want to make the dry mix below, you can use a mix bought at the paleo store like Simple Mills'.
Top it off with your favorite ice cream, keto-friendly or not, and an optional quick caramel sauce (recipe included).
Let's begin!

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Dice your apples into small pieces and toss them with 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar and the cinnamon.
In a bowl, mix the remaining coconut sugar, almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour and baking powder.
Grease a small baking dish and pour the apples into it. Smooth out the apple layer.
Sprinkle the dry apples over the apples.
Slowly pour the melted butter over the entire baking dish, trying to cover as much of the dry ingredients as possible.
If it looks like a lot of butter, you're doing it right.
Bake the dump cake at 350 degrees for 40-45 degrees or until the top is golden.
For the caramel sauce, mix coconut milk, coconut sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and can be coated with a spoon. Scoop the dump cake onto a plate, drizzle the sauce over it and enjoy!
