- Caramel Bits – they come unwrapped to make it easy for baking.
- Ramekins
The recipe calls for Caramel Bits which you can find on Amazon if your local grocery store doesn’t carry them. You can also use caramel candies…which is what this is…only the pieces aren’t wrapped. So it’s a bit easier for you.
I also used these ramekins to make the Caramel Apple Dump Cake. They’re available on Amazon or you can find something similar at your local super-store. I like Amazon because of the shipping and you can usually get things delivered in a day or two.

You would never guess that these elegant ramekins of caramel and apple are so easy to make, but it really is just as effortless as putting (okay – dumping) all your ingredients together in a bowl.

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups caramel bits
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
- Caramel sauce

INSTRUCTIONS:

- In a medium sized bowl, mix together apple pie filling, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Divide among the ramekins and smooth with a spatula
- Sprinkle with caramel bits and top with yellow cake mix.
- Smooth cake mix into an even layer. Cut butter into thin slices and layer a slice in each ramekin on top of the cake mix.
