1/2 c. butter, softened
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1/2 c. flaked coconut
1 (20 oz.) can pie sliced apples, well drained or 2 1/2 c. sliced, pared baking apples
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. dairy sour cream
2 egg yolks or 1 egg

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut butter into cake mix until crumbly. Mix in coconut. Pat mixture lightly into ungreased oblong pan, 13"x9"x2", building up slightly on edges. Bake 10 minutes.

Arrange apple slices on warm crust. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle on apples. Blend sour cream and egg yolks; drizzle over apples (topping will not completely cover apples). Bake 25 minutes or until edges are light brown. (Do not over bake.) Serve warm. 12 to 15 servings.
