Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 20 ounce cans apple pie filling
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
  • 1 11 ounce bag caramels, unwrapped and cut in half
  • 1 15.2 ounce yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into small chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with non-stick spray, set aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl add apple pie filling, lemon juice, and apple pie spice. Stir together to combine.
  • Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out.
  • Arrange the caramel evenly over the apple pie fillings.
  • Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over top.
  • Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Place the chunks of butter over the top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the top starts to turn golden brown.

Notes

  • If you can't find an 11-ounce bag of soft caramels you need 1-1/2 cups of any other soft caramel.
  • Replace the yellow cake mix with boxed spice cake or white cake mix.
  • Substitute the pecans with walnuts or leave the nuts out of the dish.
  • There is NO NEED TO STIR the mixture before baking. This is why it's called a dump cake.
  • If you have no lemon juice you can use apple cider or orange juice.
