Main Ingredients
- 42 ounces apple pie filling (2 cans, 21 ounces each)
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- 15 ounces spice cake mix
- 12 tablespoons butter, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer Apple Filling: Evenly spread the 42 ounces of apple pie filling over the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the fruity base layer.
- Add Caramel Sauce: Drizzle ½ cup of caramel sauce evenly over the apple filling to add sweetness and richness.
- Sprinkle Cake Mix: Sprinkle the entire 15 ounces of dry spice cake mix evenly on top of the caramel and apple layer, covering it completely.
- Distribute Butter: Slice 12 tablespoons of butter thinly and place them evenly over the dry cake mix to ensure moistness and enhance browning.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown, bubbly, and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the cake warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream and extra caramel sauce for added indulgence.
Notes
- Use fresh caramel sauce or store-bought for convenience.
- Ensure butter is sliced thinly for even melting during baking.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the warm gooey texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
- For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
