A delightful dessert that combines layers of sweet apple pie filling, a buttery cake mix topping, and an indulgent drizzle of caramel sauce, embodying the essence of fall.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 (21-ounce) can apple pie filling
1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 cup caramel sauce for baking
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Pour the can of apple pie filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apple filling.
Evenly distribute the dry yellow cake mix over the apple filling without mixing.
Pour the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of it as possible.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the top if using.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool for about 10–15 minutes before drizzling with caramel sauce.
Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
