For this dump cake, the filling is essentially a basic pumpkin pie filling. But instead of a crust, the cake is topped with a crumble made of a package of yellow cake mix, butter, and pecans. It takes an hour and a half to complete and makes 8-10 servings.

After it’s cooked, it’s served cold with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Christine said this easy and quick dessert is about 80% of the Brown family’s favorite dessert. The full recipe can be found here.
