Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the apple pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple filling.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much as possible.
Sprinkle cinnamon over the top, if using.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

You can use spice cake mix for an extra warm flavor twist.
Try adding chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for a crunchy finish.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
