Caramel Apple Dump Cake

This is one of the easiest desserts ever. You only need 4 ingredients for it and the flavor of this warm fall dessert is incredible.
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:30 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes
Servings:10 servings

Ingredients

  • 42 ounces apple pie filling 2 cans
  • 5 ½ ounces caramel bits ½ bag
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Pour both cans of apple pie filling into the prepared dish.
  • Evenly spread half the bag of caramel bits over the filling.
  • Evenly spread the yellow cake mix over the caramel bits.
  • Pour the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. Try to cover as much of it as possible.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until the buttery cake mix turns golden brown. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes and then top with vanilla ice cream and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Add a little milk or cream to the butter if you like to ensure there are no dry spots on top of the cake. This will make it fluffy rather than crisp, but it’s your choice.
  • Sprinkle nuts over the top of it before baking for some crunch, or add extra spices to the apple pie filling layer.
  • It can be stored for 2 days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated.
  • Warm leftovers up in the microwave.
  • For extra indulgence, serve it with vanilla ice cream on top and caramel syrup drizzled over that. Or just serve caramel ice cream instead of vanilla. Or both, and whipped cream too!
