This tastes just like the red candy apples that we are all so familiar with. The apples are cooked in a mixture that includes red hot cinnamon candies, then placed in the bottom of a baking pan and topped with the yellow sour cream cake batter. Cake is inverted over a serving platter when done and the red apple topping makes for a great presentation. Delicious!
Ingredients:
1 cup red-hot candies
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
4 granny smith apples, cored and coarsely chopped
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup apple juice
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350° and spray a 13x9 baking pan with non stick spray.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the cinnamon candies, sugar, 1/2 cup of apple juice and food coloring and heat over high heat, stirring constantly until candy dissolves.
3. Add apples and bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes or until apples are tender.
4. Spoon filling into baking pan.
5. In a medium bowl, combine all cake ingredients and mix well.
6. Spoon over the apple mixture, spreading to completely cover the apples.
7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool slightly, then invert over a large serving platter.
9. Cool completely, then cut into squares to serve.
