Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 42 ounces apple pie filling (2 cans, 21 ounces each)
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Topping
- 15 ounces spice cake mix
- 12 tablespoons butter, sliced thin
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer filling: Spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the base layer.
- Add caramel: Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apple pie filling to add richness and sweetness.
- Top with cake mix: Sprinkle the dry spice cake mix uniformly over the caramel-covered apples to form the crumbly topping.
- Butter topping: Slice the butter thinly and place the slices evenly over the spice cake mix to ensure a moist, golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Serve: Serve the cake warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream and extra caramel sauce for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced butter for even melting and a crispy topping.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
- Add vanilla ice cream and extra caramel sauce to elevate the dessert.
- If apple pie filling is not sweet enough, adjust caramel amount according to taste.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
