How to Make Sour Cream Apple Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 9x13 inch baking pan, cut softened butter into the dry cake mix using a pastry blender or your fingers until crumbly. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan, pressing up the sides to create a crust.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and evenly arrange apple slices over the warm crust.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and egg. Pour this mixture evenly over the apples.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the center is set. (Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven).
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
