Apple Pear Dump Cake

I'm standing over a bowl of thinly sliced apples and pears sprinkled in brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice right now making an Apple Pear Dump Cake.

Apple Pear Dump Cake

I'm slowly tossing it all together, sampling one slice at a time, making sure that all of the pieces gets their fair share of the good stuff. And I'm pretty sure that my grin looks ridiculous. Hopefully none of the neighbors are peeking through my kitchen window right now. I'm thrilled, ecstatic, snacking on a bowl filled with fall and I'd better stop with all of the snacking if I want any of these apples and pears to make it into the pan. 

I'm about to top this mixture with white cake mix (yes, from a box) and melted butter. I'll bake it until it's hot and bubbly and then unapologetically eat it straight out of the baking dish, probably before it cools, because I can't resist this Apple Pear Dump Cake.

Oh, and then I'll top it with a big ol' scoop of vanilla ice cream because that's just how you EAT this sort of dessert. It's the right amount of sweet, salty, soft and crunchy all in one. The perfect way to slowly slip into fall...and into a blissful food coma brought on by eating a giant serving of dump cake a la mode. Gosh I love this stuff.

Adding the nuts in after the first 20 minutes of baking will prevent the pecans from burning.
