I loved this and so did my friends. The first time I made it, I used walnuts instead of coconut in the crust, as suggested by someone else. I also cut back on sugar and it was still really sweet. The second time I made it, I still used walnuts, and I added a bit of nutmeg and vanilla to the egg and sour cream mix. It went over great. I also made the pear, with pecans instead of coconut (still used the yellow cake mix). There were no leftovers and rave reviews from everyone (half the group grew up in Germany, so it was high praise, indeed)

This is good! I didn't use the coconut and exchanged brown sugar for white as I think it gives desserts a better flavor. Easy to make too, which is always a good thing.

Loved it. My family really liked this. Though it is hard to tell exactly if it is done like the other reviews said.

My mom has a recipe similar to this one, but we use peaches. Our recipe calls for baking the crust for 10 minutes BEFORE you add the fruit to it. To those that say the sour cream topping isn't enough... it isn't supposed to cover the whole thing. Its not frosting! With our recipe calling for canned or fresh peaches, if you get canned peaches in heavy syrup, it won't need sugar.

Nice recipe but I made some mistakes. First, it seemed undercooked so I baked it longer. This was a big mistake b/c the crust got very hard. It was still delicious though. Used peaches since it was August b/c apples are autumn to me. Also, I doubled the amount of sauce and coconut, as other reviewers suggested. Next time, I will make it exactly as directed and it should come out right. It does look like a cheese Danish after it is cooked. Makes a nice presentation.

One of my favorite desserts of all time. Always a crowd pleaser! I used 1/2 cup butter, and pie sliced apples (not apple pie filling). Very easy and quick. It's a keeper!!!!!!!!!!!1

Not worth your time. I agree with the others, it's too sweet and I used half the sugar. I added another 1/4 C of butter because the cake mix was still powdery not crumbly at all. The topping hardly covered the pan. Will not make again.

This was kind of like an apple/cheese danish cake. Not very appealing to the eye, but very tasty! Remember to store leftovers in the fridge, since it's made with sour cream!

Good, but too sweet. I substituted the apples for fresh pears. I wish I had read the reviews before I baked the cake, it was hard to remove from the pan (I'm sure from pressing too hard in pan) and I would definitely cut back on the sugar!

My mother used to make a delicious apple kuchen, and while this is a little different variation, with the coconut, it's really good and a lot easier than my mom's recipe. Served it for a recent ladies gathering with vanilla bean icecream, and it was a hit!

I used 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup coconut in the crust. Would have given this 5 stars but I could still slightly detect that "cake mix" flavor...but it's worth a try!

Very disappointing. I used peaches & think the whole recipe was a waste of ingredients. My husband couldn't even finish it & he'll usually eat things up so I don't have to throw it away.

I completely omitted the sugar in this recipe. I added a little more cinnamon and some fresh ground nutmeg. Instead of Granny Smiths I used about 6 Red Delicious Apples and it turned out wonderful!! Instead of using coconut because of the high sugar content, I added finely chopped walnuts to give it the same texture. Even without the sugar and coconut, my family still found the dessert almost too sweet. It was very easy and versatile!!!

This is an easy dessert that turned out well - it was flavourful and the apples were tender. I used a little less sugar, a little more cinnamon, and about 1 1/2 cups of sour cream for the topping. I also omitted the flaked coconut since we don't like it. As others have noted, it's important not to press the crust down too firmly or it will get too hard during baking. This dessert is excellent when served with vanilla ice cream!

Wonderful cake that is easy to make! Sliced the apples thin with a peeler/corer/slicer which made the cake perfect. Will definitely use this recipe over and over. Thank you.
