A warm, gooey, and buttery Caramel Apple Dump Cake that’s as easy to make as it is irresistible. Perfect for cozy nights or festive gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Apple Pie Filling: 2 cans (21 ounces each) – Provides the juicy, fruity base and infuses the cake with warm cinnamon apple flavor.
  • Caramel Sauce: 1/2 cup – Adds sweet, sticky richness that balances the tartness of the apples.
  • Yellow Cake Mix: 1 box (15.25 ounces) – Delivers the buttery, crumbly topping.
  • Unsalted Butter: 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks), melted – Helps form a golden crust and blends with the cake mix.
  • Cinnamon (optional): 1/2 teaspoon – Enhances the warmth and deepens the apple flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Evenly spread both cans of apple pie filling in the dish. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Sprinkle cinnamon if using.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Ensure the filling is evenly layered and level for uniform baking.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the filling. Pour melted butter across the surface, covering as much dry mix as possible.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbling.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let cool for 10 minutes to allow layers to set.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel.

Notes

  • Use melted butter for better distribution and even browning.
  • Let the cake rest before serving for the best texture.
  • Try adding chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
  • Spice cake mix can add extra autumn flair.
