Ingredients
  

For the pan
  • nonstick cooking spray for greasing
For the apple filling
  • 2 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce
For the topping
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Prepare the pan
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Make the filling
  1. Spread the apple pie filling evenly in the prepared dish.
  2. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  3. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
Assemble and bake
  1. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the filling.
  2. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
  3. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  4. Let the cake rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an even buttery topping, drizzle the melted butter over as much of the dry cake mix as possible. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days; this cake can be frozen. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free butter and caramel sauce and a dairy-free cake mix.
