When people think of me, they probably think of grilling ribs, brisket, or steak. But I’m a dessert man, too. And, surprisingly, it’s quick and easy to make some decadent desserts right on the grill. Today I’m cooking up Apple Dump Cake on my Traeger Timberline 1300. And it’s going to be delicious!
I kept this recipe simple with only a few ingredients and steps. It just proves you don’t have to spend hours and use a dozen ingredients to make your family a tasty treat. This dessert is perfect for those chilly fall get-togethers when you’re craving something sweet.
5 ingredients that you can find at any grocery store is all you need for this flavorful apple dessert.
I put together a detailed demonstration of this recipe in the video and recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here’s a quick overview of how to make this dessert.
It was still warm when I bit into it, and let me tell you, it was out of this world good. Creamy, flavorful, sweet, and gooey from the caramel. The ice cream and toppings set it off perfectly. If you want to make something that is easy and doesn’t take a lot of time, this dessert is a must-have at your next family dinner or get together.
This recipe makes 8-10 servings. I recommend using at least 2 big spoonfuls of cake with half a cup of ice cream.
Let it cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Heat it up in the oven or microwave and it will be just as delicious as when you first cooked it.
