This lovely recipe has a sweet, cake-like base with a sour cream, apple and a hint of cinnamon on top.

For this recipe, I used a plain, vanilla cake mix, though you could make your own from scratch. The same goes with the apple. You can use either a can of pie apples or you could stew your own apples. The last time I made this, I stewed my own apples as I had purchased a box of apples for a rather good price.
