Equipment
- (1) 10-inch square or round deep baking dish
Ingredients
- 4 large Rome apples, peeled and cubed (about 5-6 heaping cups)
- 3 tablespoons apple cider
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 24 caramel cubes, chopped (Kraft used)
- (1) 15.25 ounces white cake mix (or yellow cake mix)
- ¾ cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 8 tablespoons butter, thinly sliced
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray the baking dish with cooking spray.
- Add the cubed apples, apple cider, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and flour to a large mixing bowl. Stir to coat the apples. Place the apple mixture into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Layer the chopped caramels over the apples.
- Add the cake mix and spread it out evenly.
- If using pecans, layer them now.
- Cut the butter into small slices and layer them on top, spreading them evenly.

- Serve warm. Top with ice cream if desired.
Notes
Caramel Cubes
Chop the caramel cubes to make them easier to melt and chew. You can also use other types of soft caramel.Nutrition
