A Late Summer Dessert

I receive emails from Betty Crocker and last week's had the recipe for an apple dump cake. Remember those dump cakes? They were popular in the early 90s and we used to like the one with cherry pie filling. I forgot about that recipe until my friend Betty reminded me! I had a tray of peaches in the refrigerator that needed to be used so I decided to tweak her suggestion and make a peach dump cake. It was easy and tasted good for a Labor Day meal.
 


I should have photographed the dessert on the table instead of the countertop as it appears camouflaged!

Peach Dump Cake
4 cups fresh peach slices/wedges
cinnamon
boxed yellow cake mix
3/4 cup melted butter

*Spread peaches in the bottom of a 9 by 13 pan (I lightly sprayed mine with cooking spray first).
*Sprinkle with cinnamon (I used a lot).
*Sprinkle dry cake mix on top, going to edges of pan.
*Evenly pour melted butter over mix and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes until bubbly.
*Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top.


I need to take a dessert to church in a few weeks so I plan to make it with 4 cups of fresh apples and a spice cake mix. 
 
Hope your day is peachy!
