Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans apple pie filling, about 21 ounces each Use sweetened and spiced to taste.
  • 1 box yellow cake mix, about 15.25 ounces Vanilla or butter cake mix can be used as substitutes.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted Melted before drizzling.
  • 24 pieces whole unwrapped caramel squares Evenly distributed over apple filling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a medium ceramic casserole dish, about 9x13 inches.
  2. Spread the apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of the casserole dish.
  3. Scatter the whole unwrapped caramel squares over the apple filling ensuring even distribution.
  4. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top, covering the apples and caramel as much as possible.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter all over the cake mix, trying to moisten as much of the surface as you can.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apple filling is hot and bubbling around the edges.
  2. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving so the caramel can settle slightly.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added creaminess. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-15 minutes.
