Caramel Apple Dump Cake has sweet apple pie filling, buttery cake mix, and rich caramel sauce bake together into a gooey, golden dessert that’s perfect for fall gatherings, holiday dinners, or anytime you want something cozy without a lot of prep work.
One of the best things about this recipe is how simple it is to make. Everything gets layered right into the baking dish with no mixing required. The yellow cake mix pairs perfectly with the apples and caramel, while the butter creates a crisp, golden topping as it bakes. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce for an easy dessert everyone will want seconds of.
Helpful Tips
- Drizzle the butter evenly across the cake mix to help the topping bake up golden and crisp.
- Yellow cake mix works great and a spice cake mix can work well too. Just use what you have on hand.
- Let the dump cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving so the filling thickens slightly and is easier to scoop.
