Caramel Apple Crunch

Everyone in blogland has been raving about Pumpkin Crunch lately and while it sounded good, I'd rather starve to death than eat pumpkin anything. Still, I was intrigued. I started with the main idea of pumpkin crunch but switched out the filling and changed up the crust a bit. Enjoy!

You will need
1 box cake mix (I used Betty Crocker Butter flavor)
3 large eggs
1/2 c melted butter
Apple Butter- I used half of a large jar
2T milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4c sugar
1T flour
1c Old Fashioned Oats
1c dried apples- chopped
1/2c craft caramel bits
1T cinnamon


Reserve one cup of cake mix and set aside.

In a bowl combine the rest of the cake mix, one egg and 1/2c of melted butter. Spread in a greased and floured 9x13 pan.

Combine apple butter, 2 remaining eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 cup of chopped dried apples and 1/2 cup of caramel bits. Mix well and spread over the cake mixture in pan.

Combine remaining ingredients and sprinkle evenly over the apple butter.

Cook for 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
