Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (21 ounce) cans apple pie filling
  • 1/2 (11 ounce) bag caramel bits (found in the baking section by the chocolate chips)
  • 1 (15 ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup melted butter (2 sticks)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 inch pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Spread both cans of apple pie filling evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  3. Sprinkle half the caramel bits evenly over the apples.
  4. Dump the yellow cake mix evenly over the caramel and apples. Don’t stir.
  5. Pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix, covering as much of it as possible.
  6. Bake uncovered on the middle rack for 30 to 40 minutes until the topping turns deep golden and the filling bubbles.
  7. Let cool about 5 minutes then serve warm, with vanilla ice cream if you like.

Notes

For extra crunch, toss in a handful of chopped pecans with the caramel bits., If you love warm spices, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg over the dry cake mix before adding melted butter., Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days., Reheat in the microwave for a quick treat — it’s just as delicious warm!
