Caramel Apple Pecan Dump Cake

Ingredients

2 28 cans apple pie filling you can substitute homemade
1 box vanilla cake mix
1 cup quick-cook oats
1 cup pecans chopped
2 sticks butter melted
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, stir together apple pie filling, cinnamon, and caramel. Pour into the bottom of a 9 by 13 baking dish. Spread into an even layer.

In another bowl, mix together cake mix and oatmeal. Pour over the apple pie filling into a single layer. I only used about 3/4 of this mixture. Discard the rest.

Top with pecans and evenly pour butter over the entire cake. Then place in the oven.

Cook for 40-55 minutes, or until caramel bubbles through the topping and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. If your pecans or corners start to get too brown, cover with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping.
