Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans apple pie filling
- 3/4 cup caramel sauce (or 1 bag / ~11 oz caramel bits)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 box yellow or butter cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, sliced into thin pats or melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly in the dish and sprinkle with cinnamon if you’re using it.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the apples.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top in a thin, even layer, reaching the corners.
- Cover the entire surface with thin pats of butter or drizzle melted butter evenly until all the cake mix is saturated.

- Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream and extra caramel on top.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade apple pie filling. Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique twist. Adding chopped nuts can create a crunchier topping.
