Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick spray or oil. May also be made in a 2 qt casserole dish or in the crock pot, see instructions and notes. 375 for high altitude.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the apple pie filling and spices, then pour filling into the prepared casserole dish. Smooth out the top.
- Evenly place the caramels over the top of the apple pie filling, sprinkle the dry cake mix over the apples as evenly as possible, giving the pan a couple of shakes to distribute the cake mix.If using nuts, and I highly recommend using nuts, sprinkle on top of the cake mix.
- Next, arrange the pats of butter over the top of the cake, as equally as possible. Bake the dump cake at 350 degrees (375 for high altitude) for about 40-45 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the apples are bubbling.
- Remove from oven, cooling for 10-15 minutes before serving. Delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes
- Lighter Caramel Apple Dump Cake Recipe
- Crock Pot Dump Cake
- Storage | After cooling completely, this delicious dessert can be stored on the counter, covered up to 3 days. Refrigerated up to 7 days and frozen up to 3 months.
- REHEAT | If frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator, then place desired amount or entire casserole dish in a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. You may also heat individual slices in the microwave in short 20-30 second bursts until warmed.
- High Altitude Dump Cake | The only change is to increase the oven temp to 375 degrees and bake until bubbly and golden.
- Gluten-Free Dump Cake | Choose your favorite gluten-free cake mix and dump away! Make sure your apple pie filling is gluten-free and you are all set!
- Dairy-Free Dump Cake | Ensure sure your cake mix and apple pie filling and caramels are all vegan, replace the butter with either vegan butter or melted coconut oil and bake away.
- Reduce butter by half, most of my recipes only use one stick, but this one I wanted to be extra buttery, caramel-y and rich!
- Omit the caramels, or use only half.
- Instead of pie filling, slice fresh apples thinly or chop small and toss with 2 tablespoons cake mix, the spices, then lay in pan and proceed. Bake until apples are tender and top is golden.
- Place first 4 ingredients in order listed in the regular recipe into a sprayed 4-6 quart crockpot. Give it a quick stir, add caramels.
- If desired, melt the butter (easily reduce by half) and stir together with cake mix, spoon buttered cake mix over the top of the caramel apple mixture.
- Place a clean tea towel over the top of the crock to absorb any steam, then cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours.
- This method will not yield a golden crispy topping, but it is still delicious!
