Caramel-Apple Bars with Cake Mix

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2
Place cake mix in a bowl and cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender. Stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk, then apples. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan and set remaining batter aside.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 4
While bottom bar layer is baking, combine caramel candies and 1/2 cup evaporated milk in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until melted. Remove from the heat.

Step 5
Remove the baking pan from the oven and drizzle caramel mixture over top. Sprinkle with cinnamon chips and pour reserved batter over top. Return to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 more minutes.
