Easy Caramel Apple Spice Cake
Description
The Easy Caramel Apple Spice Cake uses a spiced cake mix combined with apple pie filling and eggs to form a batter that delivers moistness and subtle fruit texture. Folding in walnuts adds crunch and nutty undertones. Baking in a bundt pan forms a classic ring shape that allows even cooking.
The caramel glaze, prepared by melting butter with brown sugar and cream until slightly thickened, is poured over the cooled cake, coating its surface with a glossy, sweet topping. This glaze complements the warm spices and apple flavors inside, enhancing the cake’s richness.
Enjoyed as a dessert or for special occasions, the cake’s balance of sweet, spiced, and nutty notes pairs well with coffee or tea. The use of prepared ingredients shortens preparation time while achieving a flavorful baked good.
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz cake mix one box, spiced
- 20 oz apple pie filling one can
- 2 egg
- ⅔ cup walnuts chopped
Glaze:
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, unsalted
- 2 tsp heavy cream or milk
- ½ cup light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a bundt pan with a non-stick spray, if itdoesn’t include flour then give the pan a light dusting of flour.
- In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, apple pie filling and eggs.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat everything until the lumps are broken up and the apple slices are broken down a little bit.
- Fold in the walnuts.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes.
- Check with a toothpick for doneness.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes and then invert onto a cooling rack until the cake is done cooling.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the butter, milk and brown sugar over medium heat.
- While constantly stirring, bring the mixture to a boil and then remove the pan from the stove.
- Mix the glaze just a minute longer until it starts to thicken up a little bit and then pour it all over the top of the cake.
- If you would like to decorate the top with a little more walnuts be sure to do it quickly as the caramel will set quickly.
- Store covered at room temperature.
