Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Granny Smith apples about 8 apples
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¾ cup pecans chopped (optional)
- 15.25 yellow cake mix dry mix only
- 1 cup butter salted, about 8 ounces
- 3/4 cup Caramel sauce topping, about 6 ounces
- Ice cream optional
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 pan with spray oil. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel, core and slice apples into ¼ inch slices and place in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the apples and stir to coat.
- Pour apples into the prepared dish so they spread out evenly as possible, then sprinkle with chopped pecans (optional).
- Dump the dry yellow cake mix evenly over apples and pecans. Spread lightly and but evenly with a spatula.
- Slice butter into thin pats. Place butter all over the cake, covering as much cake mix surface as possible.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes. Cake will be lightly browned on top and bubbly around the edges. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce and enjoy! You can add an extra drizzle of caramel on the plate if you like, and it's extra delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
