Apple Caramel Dump Cake is a deliciously indulgent and incredibly easy-to-make dessert that combines the comforting flavors of sweet apples, rich caramel, and buttery cake into one irresistible treat. This dessert is perfect for those who want a homemade,
crowd-pleasing dish without spending hours in the kitchen. It starts with a base of apple pie filling, which brings a juicy, fruity sweetness to the dish, followed by a layer of creamy caramel sauce that adds a luscious, gooey texture.
A boxed yellow cake mix is then sprinkled on top, acting as the perfect shortcut to create a golden, buttery crust as it bakes. Melted butter is poured over the cake mix, ensuring it bakes up moist and flavorful with a slightly crisp topping.
As the dessert cooks, the apples become tender, the caramel bubbles up, and the cake mix transforms into a soft, crumbly topping that perfectly complements the warm, spiced apple filling.
