Celebrating Fall with a Delicious Caramel Apple Dump Cake


Fall is here and there's nothing that says Fall like holiday baking. Thanks to Werthers and MomSelect I was selected to host a Werther’s Original® Baking Bash MommyParty. I received a party kit containing a dozen packages of Werther's Baking Caramels and some ideas to get our baking party going. I invited a few of my divas over and asked each of them to bring an apron and an appetite.

Since it was near Halloween, and what is Halloween without a caramel apple, we began our Werther’s Original® Baking Bash with caramel apples.  I had a few apples leftover from a recent trip to the farmer's market and this was a great way to share our bounty.
Werther’s Original® Baking Caramels are so much easier to melt than other baking caramels.  Plus they're Werther's so it's full of that buttery sweet taste we've all grown up with.  

I searched the Werther's website before my Werther’s Original® Baking Bash so I could find some out of the ordinary recipes that my guests would enjoy and found a ton of drink recipes including one for a Salted Caramel Latte.  I never realized there were so many drinks you could make at HOME using baking caramels and neither did my guests.  So we sipped and baked and baked and sipped.  One of the divas says she's never going to another fancy schmancy coffee house again.

I wanted my guests to leave with at a couple of recipes that they could easily make at home that would wow their holiday guests.  I finally settled Caramel Apple Cake and Caramel Apple Dump Cake.  The Caramel Apple Cake is a take on my uncle's apple cake recipe.  His apple cake was a longtime favorite of my grandma and one that has become a fall baking tradition in my home.  
The Caramel Apple Dump Cake well, it's my own creation.  It's just a dump cake but the addition of Baking Caramels really make this a truly one of a kind dessert.

Ingredients:



  • 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple



  • 1 20 oz. can apple pie filling



  • 1 bag Werther’s Original® Baking Caramels 


  • 1 box of your fave cake mix


  • 1 or 2 sticks butter/margarine (I use 1 but most dump cake recipes call for 2 sticks)


  • Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
    2. Dump pineapple into baking dish and spread evenly across bottom of baking dish
    3. Dump apple pie filling on top of pineapple
    4. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over pineapple and apple 
    5. Slice butter into tablespoons pats and place evenly over mixture
    6. Slice caramels over mixture
    7. Bake for 50-55 minutes
    This recipe was so easy and the ooey gooey baking caramels coupled with the buttery apples made for a thrill for the tastebuds.  Baking with Werther’s Original® Baking Caramels is a breeze because they melt much faster than other baking caramels.

    Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

    I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

    Jeepers! It's January Hop

    Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

    A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

    My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
