I decided to make this on Wednesday evening-the day before Thanksgiving because our family gathering needed more desserts. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. Quick and easy - thought I would share with you.

*******

2- (21 ounce) cans apple pie filling - cut apples into bite size pieces.

Cinnamon (to taste)-I finely sprinkled directly from the cinnamon container over the apples.

1- (11 ounce) Kraft caramel bits

I could not find the caramel bits so I boiled a can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk for 2 hours which makes Dulce de Leche. When cooled in ice water after cooking, I spread over the apples.

1 cup pecan pieces

1 (15.25 ounce) box of yellow cake mix

2 sticks butter, cut into thin slices

Preheat oven to 350°.

Lightly spray a 9 x 13” baking dish with cooking spray.

Make an even layer of the apple pie filling in the bottom of the prepared pan.

Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the apple pie filling using as much or as little as you prefer.

Distribute the caramel bits over the apple pie filling.

Place the chopped pecan pieces over the caramel bits.

Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pecans, spreading it into an even layer with a fork.

(Important) Put the pats of butter evenly on top of the dry cake mix, covering the cake mix as much as possible.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or just until the top is a golden brown color.
