How to Make Semi Homemade Caramel Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cut out two 9-inch circles from parchment paper and place them in the bottoms of the prepared pans.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
- Evenly divide the crumb mixture between the two prepared pans, pressing it firmly into the bottom to form a crust (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Divide 1 (21 ounce) can of apple pie filling evenly between the two pans, spreading it over the crumb crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Prepare one box (15.25 ounce) of your favorite yellow cake mix according to package directions, but add 1 teaspoon apple pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Divide the cake batter evenly between the two pans, pouring it over the apple pie filling.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake will be golden brown, and you may see some caramel oozing up the sides.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
- Run a thin knife or offset spatula around the edges of the cakes to loosen them from the pans.
- Carefully invert the cakes onto a serving plate, peeling off the parchment paper.
- Cut into 8 wedges and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
