Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease the pan(s) of your choice according to how moist or firm you like your cake.
• 9x13 inch pan for a moist, gooey cake.
• 10x15 inch jelly roll pan for a firmer, sheet cake.
• Or 2 8x10 disposable pans for firm cakes (that are great for bake sales.).
• In a large mixing bowl, place the cake mix, sour cream, 4 Tablespoons butter and the egg.
• Blend on low speed just until the mixture forms a thick dough (about 1 minute).
• Gently press the dough evenly over the bottom of your chosen pan(s) so that it reaches the sides.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the apple slices with the lemon juice in another mixing bowl.
• Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Remove the cake from the oven but leave the oven on.
• Arrange the apple slices in rows over the top of the cake.
• Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
• Drizzle the remaining 4 Tablespoons of melted butter over the sugar mixture.
• Return the pan(s) to the oven and bake the cake until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (30 - 40 minutes for the firmer cakes), (Ann Byrn bakes her 9x13 for 30-32 minutes but this was too gooey in the center for me).
• Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
• This is wonderful warm but also too good to resist when cool.
• Store covered at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• I have not frozen this cake but it says you can wrap it in foil and freeze it.

Steps:

• Position the oven racks so that they are evenly spaced, with one rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 400°F. Butter a 12-inch tart pan or a 9 × 13-inch cake pan.
• Cream the softened butter and 3/4 cup of the granualted sugar until light in a large bowl, using an electric mixer; add the eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to make a smooth dough.
• Spread the dough into the prepared pan.
• With a sharp knife, make lengthwise cuts in the apples, 1/4 inch apart but not all the way through, so the halves still hold together. Press the apple wedges, cut side down, evenly into the batter. Brush the apples with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
• Bake on the center rack for 25 minutes, until the cake is golden and the apples are cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and side of springform pan, 9x2 inches, or round pan, 9x1 1/2 inches, with shortening.

• In small bowl, mix yogurt and egg until smooth. Stir in apple; spoon over batter in pan. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over apple mixture.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set and crust is deep golden brown. Cool 10 minutes; remove side of pan. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Place 2 cups flour and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add 1 cup butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas.

Cool on a wire rack., In a large bowl, combine apples, 1 cup sugar and cinnamon; toss to coat. Spoon over crust. Place remaining flour, butter and sugar in food processor; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle over apples. Bake until golden brown and apples are tender, 60-70 minutes.
