{credit for this recipe goes to my high school friend Regina McConaghy. I'm pretty sure she made it for some German class potluck or other. Incidentally (this according to Facebook; we haven't really kept in touch) Regina's scholarly pursuits include both German and Women's Studies, so it seems particularly appropriate to share this recipe with my feminist friends... }
1/2 cup butter
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 cans (20oz) pie sliced apples OR
2 1/2 cups sliced apples
2 egg yolks
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Heat oven to 350. Cut butter into dry cake mix until crumbly. Mix in coconut and pat mixture into ungreased 9x13 pan, building up edges slightly. Bake ten minutes.
Arrange apple slices on warm crust. Blend sour cream and egg yolks and drizzle over apples. (Topping will not completely cover apples.) Bake 20-25 minutes, until edges are light brown. Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over baked apfel kuchen. 12-15 servings.
