2 cans of apple pie pilling
1 box yellow cake mix (dry)
1/4 lb (1 cube) butter shaved on top
Microwave 10 minutes. I do not stir but I do move the top around a bit if there are dry areas of cake mix. Microwave another 3-5 minutes. Yummy!
You can do other combinations of fruit pie fillings and cake mixes.

It's just what she said. A can of soda and a dry cake mix. Combine and bake. I usually make this in the fluted pan because it comes out prettier but people do make it in the DCB too. 12-15 minutes depending on the microwave. I'd leave the lid off for this one. For the dump cake I put the lid on. I know though that Robin House says to put it on for main dishes and leave it off for desserts. You'll hear it both ways for desserts. I personally ink it's moister with it on but Robin has make it much more often than I have...
