Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Scatter the halved caramels over the apple pie filling, ensuring even coverage.

Step 3

Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the caramel-topped apples, and then sprinkle the grated butter over the cake mix. Ensure the entire surface is covered between layers.

Step 4

Bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Step 5

Let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
