Okay, guys, this is an easy to make shortcut cake, but you would never ever know it! Start out with a cake mix, stir in fresh, chopped apples and cinnamon, bake, then pour dulce de leche sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake, then chill, and top with whipped cream and drizzle on salted caramel and chopped nuts if you like, Hows that sound?! It tastes like you spent most of your life making it, don't tell anyone that it's storebought, cake mix, caramel, and whipped cream, perfect for fall potlucks, it feeds a small army!
