Here is a great apple recipe that was made at least once every fall in my house growing up. Usually it was made whenever we  had company over as it looked elegant and was delicious with a side of à la mode! Delicious apple dessert with cake mix for the crust

The wonderful secret about this dessert was that it had all the goodness of apple pie:  apples and cinnamon combined with the ease of a using a yellow cake mix for the crust! Plus it could feed a couple of families as it makes a 9″ x 13″ pan. Delicious, easy-to-make dessert that uses a cake mix for crust and topped with apples

So when I had to take a dessert to an after-church fellowship Sunday night, this was what I immediately thought of since we had just brought home 50 pounds of apples from our apple orchard field trip. I was even able to snag a piece at the fellowship so that I could bring it home for pictures. Of course, I got the added pleasure of eating it with ice cream as well after I took pictures!

I never used to like cooked apple, but I liked this dessert. So if you love apple pie, you’ll like this dessert. And if you don’t like all the apples in a piece of pie, but you do like the cinnamony apple flavor, try this dessert out!Delicious, easy-to-make dessert that uses a cake mix for crust and topped with apples

Here’s how you make the dessert:

Cut the margarine into the cake mix and add the coconut to that mixture. Press it into the 9″ x 13″ pan. Don’t pack the mixture too hard, or it will be hard to cut later (and hard to bite!), but do pat it down, allowing the edges to be a little higher.

    My mouth is watering, Tammy! I love the semi-homemade idea using the cake mix. Thank you for sharing, and I can’t wait to try this.

      Thanks for the pin! I really haven’t met anyone yet who doesn’t like it–it’s a rather safe dessert (for older kids and adults–my kids still go for cookies.)

    I can’t imagine how it tastes. I just got a key about flour composition for glutten free. I just need to change the type of flour with 70% rice flour, 15% corn flour, and 15% other flour. I think kids can try one too with the new composition. Thanks for sharing.

      I have a friend who is gluten free and it can be hard! I hope you can figure out the composition that works so it will be easy for you to make some more recipes.
