This Bacon Caramel Apple Dump Cake is the ultimate mashup of sweet and savory, with gooey caramel, tender apples, and crispy bacon all lounging under a buttery, golden cake crust. It’s the kind of dessert that makes you wonder why bacon hasn’t always been a part of every cake.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter. Because more butter is always better.
Spread the apple pie filling evenly in the dish. This is your fruity foundation.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apples and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Pour the dry cake mix evenly over the top. No stirring, just let it lounge. Scatter the crumbled bacon over the cake mix. Because bacon makes everything better.
Drizzle the melted butter over everything. Pretend you're in a butter commercial, really go for it.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Let it cool a bit, then serve with ice cream. Or eat it straight from the dish. We don’t judge here.
