This cake definitely tastes like fall. The texture of the cake was creamy, thanks to the delicious pumpkin filling, and the nutty apple topping was the perfect complement. You can't beat how easy it is to make either!

This dump cake was just what I wanted a warm, pumpkin dessert. The topping was a little too sugary for me, but I liked the crunchy chopped nuts on top. The pumpkin filling was excellent, and so simple to make!

I would have liked for there to be more apples in this cake, but other than that it was awesome. The cake was more custard than cake, which I loved.

The topping on this cake was amazing! I wasn't a huge fan of the apple chunks...maybe I'd shred them next time!
