Description
Make this simple, gooey caramel apple dump cake using only four ingredients. You can bake it in the oven or prepare it in a slow cooker for an easy fall dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup caramel topping or sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit if baking, or lightly grease a 6-quart slow cooker insert.
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of your baking dish or slow cooker insert.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the apple filling. Do not stir.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
- Pour the caramel topping over the butter layer. Again, do not stir.
- For Oven Baking: Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- For Slow Cooker: Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until set.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- You can substitute the yellow cake mix with white or butter flavor for slight variations.
- If you prefer a thicker caramel layer, use slightly more than one cup of topping.
- For a richer flavor, use salted butter.
