How to Make Apple Coconut Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix and 1 cup shredded coconut.
  4. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups) into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Keep slices chunky to prevent mushiness.
  6. Arrange apple slices in the prepared pan.
  7. Sprinkle 1/2 cup granulated sugar evenly over the apples.
  8. Sprinkle the coconut-cake mix crumble evenly over the apples.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  10. Pour the water-lemon juice mixture evenly and slowly over the crumble, ensuring the crumble is slightly moistened. Don't over-soak.
  11. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the topping is light golden brown and the apples are tender. Check for doneness at 55 minutes.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving.
  13. Serve warm or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  14. Optional: Add 1 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries to the apples for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
