This homemade apple cake is traditionally called a Swedish Apple Pie.
Although it is called a Swiss apple pie, it really is so much more like an apple cake to me. So that is what I am calling it.
I do not believe I have a drop of Swiss heritage in me. I do however love all kinds of some apple desserts. This is one of the simplest apple cake recipes I’ve ever made. It has quickly become one of my absolute faves for the fall baking season.
I started calling it a dump cake as soon as I saw it.
Usually a dump cake uses a boxed cake mix. But I learned that you could make your own cake mixes and this recipe is no exception.
It is ridiculously easy to make this dump cake from scratch. And it uses simple ingredients you are likely to already have on hand. You literally just throw everything together in one bowl, mix it and then bake it, and it is done.
So it turns out you don’t have to be Swedish to enjoy a Swiss Apple pie!

Swiss Apple Cake Ingredients
- Egg
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Apple

I should probably add that you can used chopped walnuts as the recipe calls for or you can skip them altogether if you don’t like nuts.
I also think that chopped pecans or any chopped nuts would work just as well as the chopped walnuts.
So just go ahead and use whatever nuts you already have on hand and it will turn out just fine.
