Cake Mixes...Apple Custard Dessert


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.  
Make it smaller:
Halve the recipe by using a “Jiffy” one layer cake mix or weighing out half of the contents of your regular cake mix, halving the rest of your ingredients and using an 8 x 8” or 7 x 11” pan.
