- 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.
