Okay, folks, let’s talk about this caramel apple dump cake. I saw a recipe online, and it looked so darn easy, I just had to try it. Here’s how it went down:
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a 9×13 inch baking dish. No need to grease it, which is already a win in my book. Less mess, less fuss.
Layering It Up
Next, I opened up two cans of apple pie filling. I just dumped them straight into the dish. See? That’s where the “dump cake” name comes from. No mixing, no stirring, just dump it in!
Then, I sprinkled a box of yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the apple filling. I tried to get it as even as possible, but hey, it’s a dump cake, it doesn’t have to be perfect. I really liked the yellow cake.
After that, my favorite parts!I scattered about a cup of caramel bits all over the cake mix. You can find these in the baking aisle, usually near the chocolate chips. Use these new caramel bits!
The Butter Situation
Here’s where things got a little interesting. The recipe I saw called for melted butter. So, I melted one and a half sticks of butter in the * I poured it as evenly as I can,try to cover most of it,especially the dry spots.
Baking Time
I popped the whole thing into a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The recipe said to bake for 45-50 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and bubbly. Mine took closer to 55 minutes,I just kept an eye on it. Ovens can be a little different, you know?
Cooling (and Tasting!)
Once it was out of the oven, I let it cool for a bit. It’s * you dig in right away, it’ll be super messy. Plus, the caramel needs a little time to set up.
Finally, I scooped out a big ol’ serving. I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, because, why not? It’s a simple good dessert.
The cake was great. The apples were soft, the cake was moist, and the caramel bits added this amazing chewy, gooey texture.
