Caramel Apple Dump Cake

Sprinkle the Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the apple and caramel layers, ensuring it covers the entire top without mixing it in. This forms the crumbly topping that will become beautifully golden and crispy.
Step 5: Dot with Butter
Add Butter Patches: Place the 1 cup of cut butter pats evenly on top of the cake mix. The melted butter will soak through the cake layer as it bakes, creating a rich and moist topping.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the dump cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the filling set slightly and make it easier to serve.
Presentation Tips
Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the Caramel Apple Dump Cake warm, allowing the caramel and apples to ooze slightly when served.
Garnish with Whipped Cream: Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast to the cake’s sweetness. You can also drizzle a little extra caramel sauce on top for added sweetness.
Add a Dash of Cinnamon: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the whipped cream or ice cream for a final touch.
Use Elegant Dishware: Present the cake in a beautiful serving dish or individual dessert bowls for a more sophisticated touch.
