Ingredients
6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1 cup caramel topping, ice cream syrup style
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups walnuts, chopped coarsely
15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the chopped apples into the pan to form a uniform bottom layer.
Drizzle the caramel topping evenly over the apples.
Sprinkle the cinnamon powder over the caramel layer.
Scatter the chopped walnuts over the apple mixture.
Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the walnut layer so no fruit is visible.
Drizzle the melted butter carefully over the dry cake mix, ensuring all dry areas are moistened.
Bake for 50 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
Notes
Ensure all dry spots of cake mix are covered with melted butter to prevent powdery patches. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
