Make this easy Caramel Apple Dump Cake using only four ingredients. It is a warm, gooey fall dessert perfect for potlucks or weeknight treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
  • 1 (11.75 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup caramel bits or chips
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Pour the entire can of apple pie filling into the prepared baking dish. Spread it into an even layer.
  3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the apple filling. Do not stir.
  4. Scatter the caramel bits or chips over the layer of dry cake mix.
  5. Slowly drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the cake mix and caramel.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, grease the crock pot insert. Layer the ingredients in the same order (apples, dry mix, caramel, butter). Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • You can substitute fresh, sliced apples for the pie filling, but you may need to add 1/4 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the apples before baking.
  • This recipe is a great option for an easy holiday potluck dessert.
