Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix (or spice cake mix)
21 ounce can apple pie filling
2 large eggs, beaten
12 ounce jar caramel ice cream topping, divided use
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it).
In a medium bowl, combine 1 box yellow cake mix, 21 ounce can apple pie filling, 2 large eggs, beaten, 1/4 cup caramel topping and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
If using an electric or stand mixer, mix on low speed for one to 2 minutes.
If you want larger pieces of apple in your cake, be careful not to mix too vigorously or the apples will break up fairly small. Batter will be thick.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes.
Keep in mind oven times do vary but your cake should be golden and bounce back to the touch.
Remove cake from oven and pour remaining caramel topping over warm cake.
Some of the caramel topping will go over the sides as you spread it out. Don't worry. All of it is just going to add to the moistness of this cake.
The warm cake is going to absorb most of the sauce as it begins to cool.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
