Crock Pot Apple Dump Cake with Salted Caramel

Crock Pot Apple Dump Cake with Salted Caramel with vanilla ice cream

Spray cooking spray into your slow cooker or use a slow cooker liner.  A liner makes this recipe extra easy. When you are done, just remove the liner and discard.

Since this is called dump cake, there will be some dumping involved. So, dump out one 20 oz can of apple pie filling into the crock pot.

Time for more dumping! Dump out one box of yellow cake mix on top of the apples.

Next, pour ½ cup (1 stick) of melted butter on top of the cake mix. Make sure not to mix any of the ingredients together. Simply keep layering them. It seems crazy that doing this would produce a delicious cake, but trust the process!

Dump ¼ cup of cinnamon sugar over the butter. You can also make your own cinnamon sugar by adding 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to 1/4 cup of sugar and mixing.

Add ½ cup sea salt caramel chips on top.

Cover your crock pot and cook the crock pot apple dump cake on low for 3 ½ – 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.

Eat at Home Meal Plans

Have you heard about Eat At Home Meal Plans? If the cost of eating out or the decision of what to make for dinner each night is stressing you out, then you must try these. When you sign up, you get access to four separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don’t worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

That’s it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

We all have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.

    We always make time to cook dinner, because hey, you’ve gotta eat, right? But unless it’s a special occasion, following it up with dessert is pretty rare for me. if I had more recipes like this, maybe I’d make dessert more often!
