Can I use homemade apples instead of canned pie filling?

Yes! Toss peeled, sliced apples with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tbsp flour. Cook slightly on the stove or dump raw (cooking time may increase).

Do I have to use yellow cake mix?

No. White cake or even spice cake mix works. Spice cake = extra autumn vibes. But yellow gives a classic flavor and texture.

Can I make this in the oven?

Absolutely. Layer in a 9x13-inch pan and bake at 350°F for 35–45 minutes until bubbly and golden.

My cake is soggy — what happened?

You might have used too much apple filling for your Crockpot size, or the lid was lifted too often. Also, smaller slow cookers can produce denser, soggier results.

Can I double the recipe?

Use a larger Crockpot or split into two. Don’t overfill the pot — leave room for bubbling.

Instructions

Lightly grease the inside of a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker.

Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the apples — don’t stir.
Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, then spoon or pour the caramel sauce over everything.
