Equipment

  • 9x13 pan
  • oven

Ingredients

  • 24 Ritz Crackers
  • 3/4 cup vegan butter divided into two steps ¼ cup and ½ cup
  • 2 21 ounce canned apple pie filling
  • 12 ounces vegan sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (optional) nuts, chopped I used pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Melt 1/4 cup vegan butter and line the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Tilt to spread evenly.
  • Place 24 Ritz crackers in the bottom of the pan on top of the melted butter.
  • Add the two cans of apple pie filling, spreading evenly.
  • Mix the vanilla into the sour cream and stir well.
  • In small even portions, dollop spoonfuls of the sour cream mixture on top of the apple pie filling layer.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix evenly on top.
  • If you are adding the optional nuts to the top, chop if necesssary, and sprinkle evenly.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 cup butter to the top of the cake mix layer. You can either slice and place evenly (if you have stick butter), or melt and drizzle.
  • Bake in a 350° oven for about 35 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
  • Take out of the oven and allow cooling to room temperature.
  • Store leftover covered in the refrigerator. If the dump cake is quite cold, you'll want to go ahead and dish out and then let sit for a few minutes to come closer to room temperature. This will allow the flavors to come through better and the butter won't be rock solid.
