It must have been women’s intuition because I set into dessert making mode before I knew about the celebratory day.

I’d lost that lovin’ feeling for the apples that I had been taking to work for lunch

and decided I would make them into something LB couldn’t resist.

This is an EASY dessert recipe and there’s no easier way to make something LB cannot resist than creating dessert!

At bettycrocker.com I found this recipe for

Apple Dump Cake

Thank you Betty Crocker!

Aside from pumpkin, apple is the flavor of the season. While baking, the fragrance of apples and cinnamon wafted through the kitchen creating an atmosphere of autumn.

This dessert is delicious served warm and topped with cool whip!

Spray 13×9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

In baking dish, mix chopped apples, walnuts, sugar and cinnamon. Spread evenly in pan. Top with dry cake mix; shake to distribute evenly. Pour melted butter over top, covering as much of the top with butter as possible.

It is apparent that the apple dessert is not going to last all week.
