I try my best to eat healthy-ish.
I try to incorporate chicken and vegetables into the meals I create for my family.
I want my kids to understand the importance of choosing foods that will make your body happy and healthy but I also want my kids to understand the importance of choosing an amazing dessert.
Caramel Cinnamon Apple Dump Cake is the amazing dessert that I decided to share with my family.
Before I made Caramel Cinnamon Apple Dump Cake I had never heard of this dessert before. I stumbled upon this type of cake on Pinterest and got very curious.
I was amazed at how easy this cake was to make.
I knew that if I created a dump cake that included caramel and cinnamon that my kids would come running.

Caramel Cinnamon Apple Dump Cake recipe is amazing. My family loved it!
Some of the kids ate it alone while the others topped it with vanilla ice cream.
I topped mine with almond slivers and vanilla ice cream and then I drizzled caramel over the entire dish. It literally melted in my mouth.
