Tips & Tricks (5)

Caramel Distribution Magic 🍯
Sprinkle caramel nibs in layers between the apple pie filling and cake mix to create pockets of gooey caramel throughout the dessert.
Butter Browning Technique 🧈
Melt the butter before pouring over the cake mix to ensure even coverage and create a crispy, golden-brown top crust.
Texture Perfection Trick 🍰
Gently press the dry cake mix down after adding butter to create a more compact and moist final texture.
Autumn Spice Enhancement 🍂
Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the top before baking to intensify the fall flavor profile.
Serving Temperature Hack 🍎
Let the dump cake cool for 15-20 minutes after baking to allow the caramel and apple filling to set slightly for easier serving.
