Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup flaked coconut
• ¼ cup margarine, softened
• 4 large Granny Smith apples

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Peel, core, and cut each apple into 8 wedges. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, coconut and margarine until crumbly. Pat mixture lightly into prepared pan, building up the edges slightly to form a crust. Arrange the apple wedges on top.

Step 3

Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the apples and the cake mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and sour cream. Drizzle over the top of the cake.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the edges of the cake are golden and the apples are tender.
