Apple Kuchen

While at my Aunt's she also made a wonderful Apple Kuchen. It is similar to an apple danish or tart in taste and is absolutely delicious. I guarantee that anyone you serve this to will be begging for the recipe, the same way that I asked for the recipe after the first bite! I'm sorry to say I was so excited to eat it that I forgot to get a picture!

Apple Kuchen: Serves 12

1/2C Butter - Softened
1 Package Betty Crocker Yellow Cake Mix
1/2C Flaked Coconut
2-1/2C Sliced Baking Apples
1/2C Sugar
1tsp Cinnamon
1C Sour Cream
2 Egg Yolks

Cut the butter into the cake mix; you can do this by taking a fork and raking it through the batter until it is evenly distributed and the mix is crumbly. Stir in the coconut and then place the batter into an un-greased 13x9 pan. Pat the mix evenly over the pan to make a crust and at the sides slightly build it up. Bake in a 350° oven for 10 minutes.

Arrange the sliced apples on top of the baked crust and mix the cinnamon and sugar together and then sprinkle on top of the apples. Mix the sour cream and egg yolks together and spread it on top of the apples, it will not completely cover the apples. Bake for an additional 25 minutes until the edges are light brown.

Cut into 12 slices and serve warm!
Note: If you don't have access to fresh baking apples you can use a 20oz can of apple pie filling, however you need to eliminate the 1/2C of sugar from the recipe or you will be overwhelmed by sweetness.
