Ingredients
- 2 cans (21 oz each) apple pie filling
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the apple layer: Spread both cans of apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the apple filling, covering it completely.
- Pour the butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. It will melt into the cake mix as it bakes.
- Add caramel and cinnamon: Pour the caramel sauce over the top of the cake mix. Optionally, sprinkle with ground cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth and flavor.
- Bake the cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Serve: Let the cake cool slightly, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
