Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (21 oz each) apple pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for topping)

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crockpot: Lightly grease the slow cooker insert or line with a crockpot liner.
  2. Add Apple Pie Filling: Spread both cans evenly in the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Drizzle Caramel: Pour 1/2 cup caramel sauce over apples; sprinkle cinnamon if desired.
  4. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top. Do not mix.
  5. Top with Butter: Lay butter slices evenly over the dry mix.
  6. Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 2–2.5 hours or LOW for ~4 hours, until the top is set and golden and the edges are bubbly.
  7. Serve: Let stand 10 minutes before serving with extra caramel, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
