- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray.
- Spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the crockpot.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apples, ensuring even distribution.
