Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In microwavable dish, combine caramels and 1/3 cup of milk. Microwave on high 1 minute. Stir. Microwave another minute. Stir. Mixture should be smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2

Grease and flour 9 x 13 pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, butter, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and walnuts. Stir by hand until dough holds together. Press ½ of dough into prepared pan. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until dough begins to look dry and puffy.

Step 3

Meanwhile, toss apples with flour, brown sugar, and lemon juice. When bottom crust is done, sprinkle apples evenly over baked crust; sprinkle vanilla baking chips (if using) over apples. Spread caramel mixture over apples and baking chips. Using hands, crumble remaining dough over caramel mixture. Return to oven and bake 15-20 minutes or until deep golden brown around edges and beginning to brown on top. Cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Refrigerate 30 minutes and cut. Refrigerating another 30 minutes before eating is recommended. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
