How to Make Easy Caramel Apple Dump Cake
Making this Caramel Apple Dump Cake is so simple that it almost feels like magic. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish. The first step is to pour the apple pie filling into the bottom of the dish, spreading it out evenly. The apples, already sweetened and spiced, will create a wonderful base for the cake.
Next, sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the top of the apple pie filling. No need to mix it—just let the cake mix sit on top. This is what gives the cake its signature crumbly texture. Once the cake mix is evenly distributed, pour the melted butter over the entire surface. Be sure to cover every part of the cake mix so it can bake to golden perfection.
For the ultimate fall indulgence, drizzle caramel sauce over the butter and cake mix. The caramel will melt into the cake as it bakes, adding extra sweetness and richness. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and bubbly.
After baking, allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. This dessert is amazing on its own, but for an even more decadent experience, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The warm caramel and tender apples combined with the cake topping will melt in your mouth—this is a dessert you’ll want to make all season long!
