This is an easy, delicious dessert - from "Duncan Hines Holiday Spectacular”. Almost everyone will enjoy this and the hardest part is peeling a few apples. It didn’t call for any additional seasoning, and actually didn’t need it. The ratio of topping to apples was just right. We served it with a little heavy cream sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, but whipped cream or ice cream would be great.
I made it with an ordinary yellow cake mix and Granny Smith apples that were both on sale.
