Ingredients
42 oz apple pie filling (2 cans)
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1 box (15 oz) yellow or spice cake mix
1 1/2 sticks (12 tbsp) unsalted butter, cold and thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
Spread the apple pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the caramel sauce uniformly over the apple layer.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the apple and caramel mixture without packing it down.
Arrange thin slices of cold butter on top of the cake mix, ensuring as much surface coverage as possible.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, use a spiced yellow cake mix. Ensure the butter is completely cold when slicing to maintain the best crust texture. If the top browns too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil for the final 10-15 minutes of baking.
