Description

This easy Caramel Apple Dump Cake combines the warm flavors of apple pie filling and caramel with a moist yellow cake topping. Perfectly baked or slow cooked to create a comforting dessert that's quick to assemble and delightful to serve with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow cake mix
  • 2 cans apple pie filling (21 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce or topping
  • 2 sticks butter (melted or sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the dessert.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or use it as is if nonstick.
  3. Add Pie Filling: Spoon the contents of the two cans of apple pie filling evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Pour Caramel Sauce: Drizzle the 1/2 cup of caramel sauce evenly over the apple pie filling layer to add a rich, sweet flavor.
  5. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the caramel-coated apple filling to cover it completely.
  6. Add Butter: Place thin slices or pats of butter evenly on top of the cake mix. Alternatively, you can melt the butter and drizzle it over the cake mix for even coverage.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 to 60 minutes until the top is golden and the cake is bubbly and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or your favorite ice cream topping.
  9. Slow Cooker Option: Spray a 6-quart oval or oblong slow cooker with nonstick spray. Layer the ingredients in the same order as the oven method.
  10. Cook in Slow Cooker: Cover with the lid. Optionally, place a paper towel or tea towel under the lid to catch condensation droplets. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours until set and bubbly.

Notes

  • You can use melted butter drizzled over the cake mix for a more even buttery flavor.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a classic touch.
  • The slow cooker method is great for keeping the cake warm and moist without using the oven.
  • Use a paper towel under the slow cooker lid to prevent water from dripping on the cake.
  • This dessert is easy to customize by adding chopped nuts or cinnamon to the cake mix before baking.
