Quick Apple and Sour Cream Slice

Apple and sour cream slice fits into the ‘cheats’ category as you use a store bought packet cake mix, and canned apples. This delicious dessert is an old fashioned recipe that has been around for decades. It has a delicious, moist, coconut base with loads of apples topped off with sour cream and cinnamon. What’s not to like.

ingredients

We first had this slice at a 90th birthday party, and it was a real crowd pleaser so we naturally got the recipe then, and there. The recipe has since been passed on umpteen times, as whenever we serve it everyone invariably asks for the recipe. Tick.

the base

The base for this slice is made using a packet cake mix which you then simply add coconut and melted butter, then bake it for 15 minutes or so.

the topping

The topping could not be easier. Open pie apple, and spread over the base. Then mix sour cream with egg and vanilla and spread over apples, dust with sugar and cinnamon, then bake for 20 minutes. Too darn easy!

    This was so easy and so delicious.
    I used a cup of coconut (rather than a half) in the base and used a 23cm x 33cm tin.

      Hi Sally, we’re so pleased you liked this very easy and delicious dessert. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Jo and Jen

    2. What can I use instead of sour cream for a lactose intolerant person

      1. Recipe Winners says:

        Hi Jan, sadly this recipe really can’t have a substitute for the sour cream. Regards, Jo and Jen

        1. What temperature is it cooked at?
          Maybe there could be lactose free sour cream?

          1. Recipe Winners says:

            Hi Lynn, the cook temperature is 180c – 355f on bake not fan assist – if your oven only cooks on fan assist please lower the temperature by 20c – 50f as a fan assist oven cooks the food faster than a conventional oven. Hope this helps, we’d love to hear how you rate this recipe. Jo and Jen

          2. Have made this before using coconut cream.. Works perfectly amd still just as yummy

            Hi, thanks for the feedback, good to know. Regards, Jo and Jen

  2. We LOVE all of your recipes & want to try this one now – what’s the best way to store it & roughly how long is its “shelf-life”?. I’ve got allergies so there is only 1 person eating it.

      Hi Trace, this slice is delicious and will be best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Regards, Jen and Jo
