Easy Caramel Apple Cake

One of the easiest cakes ever! My mom uses this recipe template to make coffee cakes at church. Try different combinations of cakes and pie fillings! Some favorites: Chocolate cake + cherry pie filling, White cake + blueberry pie filling, Cinnamon swirl cake + apple pie filling, Yellow cake + peach pie filling

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 16-20

Ingredients

• 1  boxed  caramel flavored cake mix

Directions

1. Preheat oven according to cake package directions.
