Directions

• Peel and slice the apples into even pieces. Combine them in a bowl with cinnamon and half of the caramel sauce, ensuring they're well coated.
• Pour the apple mixture into the bottom of your greased crockpot. Spread it out evenly to create a cozy base for the cake layer.
• In a separate bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and eggs (or applesauce). Stir until just mixed—lumps are okay!
• Spoon the cake mixture over the apple layer in the crockpot. If it looks uneven, that's perfectly fine!
• Pour the remaining caramel sauce over the cake layer, letting it drip down into the apple mixture for extra sweetness.
• Cover and cook on low for about 3-4 hours, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean but with some gooey pieces.
• Carefully ladle portions into bowls, and don’t forget to add a generous scoop of whipped cream or ice cream for the perfect finish!
