CARAMEL APPLE PIE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, stir 1 teaspoon cinnamon into the dry cake mix, then add ingredients called for on the package. Beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Gently fold in chopped apple pie filling (I just used kitchen scissors and cut the apples right in the can). Pour into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish and bake cake in a preheated oven according to package instructions.
• When the cake is done, remove from the oven and cool for 20 minutes.
• Gently poke holes into the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or with the tines of a fork. The cake is very moist, so do this gently to avoid pulling it apart.
• Pour the dulce de leche into a microwavable container and microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring each time, until thin enough to pour; about 1 minute.
• Pour the dulce de leche over the cake and spread gently in an even layer.
• Refrigerate cake for 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat butter and cream cheese on high speed for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup caramel sauce. Beat for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream or cool whip. Add more as desired for a thicker consistency.
• Drizzle with remaining caramel and sprinkle with optional chopped pecans or toffee bits. Refrigerate until ready to serve, then cut into squares.

APPLE PIE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare white cake according to box directions for a 13×9 cake.
• While cake is baking, work on cooking the apples. In a large skillet, whisk together the brown sugar with water, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Heat over medium high heat until bubbly, then add diced apples. Reduce heat to low and simmer apples about 12-15 minutes.
• When cake is done baking, poke holes all over (I use a meat thermometer, you can also use a wooden spoon handle or fork). Pour can of sweetened condensed milk over hot cake. Then pour apple mixture. Spread and smooth until apples are evenly disbursed over top of cake and liquids have drained into the poked holes of the cake.
• Refrigerate 3-4 hours or overnight.
• While cake is in refrigerator, whisk the vanilla pudding with milk and cinnamon until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve cake, combine pudding mixture with thawed Cool Whip. Spread over cake, slice and serve. ENJOY!
