Salted Caramel Apple Poke Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 3 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
Salted Caramel Topping
- 12 oz jar of salted caramel topping
Icing Topping
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉
- In a mixing bowl, beat together all of the cake ingredients (cake mix, apple pie filling, vanilla, cinnamon, eggs and nutmeg). I personally like to try and crush up the apples a bit with my whisk.
- Pour into a greased 9×13 baking dish and bake for 40 min.
- Poke holes in the cake with a straw or something small with a blunt end, about an inch apart.
- Heat up the salted caramel topping for just a couple of seconds to make it easier to pour. Pour over the entire cake and let cool.
- Add the heavy cream to a bowl and mix until you get stiff peaks being careful not to overmix. Add in the powdered sugar a little at a time until its incorporated.
- Add to the top of the cake.
- Sprinkle with a little bit more cinnamon.
