How to Make Apple Kuchen Or Peach

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, and 1/2 cup Crisco. Cut in using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Pat the crumbly mixture into an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan, pressing it up the sides slightly. (Flour your hands if needed to prevent sticking).
4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans evenly over the crust.
5. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. While the crust bakes, prepare your fruit: Peel, core, and slice 4-6 medium apples (or use 4 cups of sliced fresh peaches).
7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
8. Remove the pan from the oven. Arrange the sliced apples (or peaches) evenly over the warm crust.
9. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the fruit.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 large egg.
11. Drizzle the sour cream mixture over the apples (or peaches); do not spread it evenly.
12. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry edges are lightly golden brown and the fruit is tender.
13. Let cool slightly before serving warm.
