This one was my personal favorite out of all the dump cakes I made for My 3 Chefs. Because the first dump cake I made had too much dry cake mix left on top, I decided to sprinkle some unsweetened applesauce on top before sprinkling on the nuts (I used about 3/4 cup but next time I think I will cut it down to 1/2 cup of applesauce). I also used Pillsbury's sugar-free yellow cake mix and the nuts I used were walnuts. I had to cook the cake for about 20 minutes longer because of the applesauce. The cake was moist and super flavorful. I loved the combination of cranberries, apples and walnuts. Everyone at work said that this cake definitely deserved 5 stars. Made for My 3 Chefs October 2013.
