Commitments to healthy living and nutritious eating are among the legacies of my parents and grandparents. For example, Grandfather Charles began each day with an early morning family swim. Grandmother Laura afterwards incorporated homemade breads, cheeses and fruits into family breakfasts with my mother. Grandfather August likewise practiced and passed on to my father the athletics that he learned from his ancestors' involvement in Turnverein gymnastics. Grandmother Rose afterwards sang arias while making the best, freshest and most attractive berry and fruit pies.
As a result, I became a kindergartener who swam as well as she jumped, ran, skipped and walked. Also, I began a lifelong preference for fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables. But exception was made for homemade breads, pasta and pastries.
Fortunately for me, my mother and grandmothers considered apple cake a dessert made of fresh apples. They also knew that busy lifestyles sometimes demand quick culinary fixes. This easy-to-follow recipe therefore makes up an apple cake "on the run" by dumping into a pan and baking canned pie filling together with other cake-yielding ingredients.
The list of ingredients is adjusted to include store-bought pie filling even though home-canned pie filling is what my grandmothers excelled at.

katiem2, You're so lucky to have an orchard! There's a commercial apple orchard down the road, and I love the looks and smells and tastes.
Apple dump cake is always a crowd-pleaser in my neck of the woods.
I have a bumper crop of apples left over from our visits to the orchard. Apple Dump Cake sounds like a very pleasant solution.
How lovely that you think of your relatives when you cook. This shows what a loving relationship families have with food.
Veronica, Thank for liking this recipe -- particularly because I so enjoy and respect your sharing cookbooks and travelogues -- since it reminds me every time that I make it of my mother and of my grandmothers Laura and Rose.

what a lovely recipe. The combination of spices in this is just perfect . I will definitely be making this. Thank you for posting it.
kimbesa, I'm honored that, with all your fruit cuisine-related knowledge, you like this easy, popular, tasty family recipe!
Adding this one to my list of easy apple recipes. The season is just getting started, and we have lots of apples to enjoy...thanks!
Margielynn, Apple dump cake, whether personally canned or the Comstock brand, is so easy to make and popular to serve.
We love apples, I have had a dump cake before and they are delicious!
MikeRobbers, This is a very cooperative recipe since it always turns out regardless of whether homemade or store-bought ingredients are used. It does not take that long to make, and it certainly does not take enthusiastic consumers long to eat (but never bolt).
Thank you for visiting and commenting.
