What’s in this caramel apple upside down bundt cake:
Ingredients:
- 20-ounce can apple pie filling
- One box spice cake mix
- 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- Caramel sauce for topping
Equipment Needed:
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Bundt Cake Pan
- Large Bowl
- Mixer
🥣 Recipe Tips
- Grease the Pan Thoroughly: Use a generous amount of nonstick cooking spray to coat every nook and cranny of the Bundt pan, to ensure the cake releases easily without sticking to the apple pie filling.
- Spread Apple Filling Evenly: Distribute the apple pie filling uniformly across the bottom of the Bundt pan to ensure each slice has a consistent layer of apples. Chop any large apple pieces in the filling for a smoother layer.
- Check Doneness Early: Start checking the cake with a toothpick at the 35-minute mark, as oven times vary. This prevents overbaking, keeping the cake moist and tender.
- Cool Just Enough Before Flipping: Let the cake cool for about 10-15 minutes until the pan is safe to handle but still warm. This helps the apple layer set slightly, making it easier to flip the cake without breaking while ensuring it releases cleanly.
How to make this bundt cake with apple pie filling and a spice cake mix:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a Bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the apple pie filling in an even layer in the bottom of the cake pan.

In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, apple cider, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Pour the batter over the top of the apple pie filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow the bundt cake to cool until the pan is safe to touch, then flip it over onto a serving dish. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake before serving. Isn’t it just gorgeous?
