Apple Pie Filling Poke Cake for 12

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 28–32 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
4. Let the cake cool for exactly 10 minutes.
5. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes across the entire surface of the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
6. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top, ensuring the liquid fills the holes.
7. In a small bowl, stir the ground cinnamon into the apple pie filling. Spread the filling in a thick, even layer over the top of the cake.
8. Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread this over the apple layer.
9. Drizzle the warmed caramel sauce in a zig-zag pattern across the cream.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the condensed milk to set and flavors to penetrate the cake.
