Ingredients

  • 2 20 oz cans apple pie filling
  • 1 cup Kraft caramel baking bits
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg optional
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup melted butter about 1 1/2 sticks worth
  • caramel sauce for serving
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl add both the pie filling and spices. Stir together until evenly combined.
  • Lightly spray a 9x13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
  • Pour the seasoned pie filling into the prepared dish. Using a spatula, spread the filling out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the caramel bits evenly out over top of the filling, followed by the cake mix.
  • Pour the melted butter evenly out over top of the cake mix in the baking dish.
  • Bake the cake at 350°F for 45 minutes, or until it's golden brown on top with bubbling edges.
  • Let the baked cake rest for 10 minutes, so that it's still nice and warm but not actually hot.
  • Spoon the cake into bowls, and top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup.

Notes

  • Don't have salted butter? Use unsalted and stir in 1/8 tsp of salt.
  • The nutmeg is totally optional.
  • You could substitute spice cake in this if you want.
