Ingredients

1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar
2 ½ tsp (12 mL) Cinnamon Plus^®, divided (see cook's tip)
4 small apples, peeled, cored, cut in half lengthwise
1 pkg Cinnamon Crumb Cake Mix, divided
¼ cup (60 mL) chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
½ cup (250 mL) butter (1 stick), softened, divided
½ cup (125 mL) sour cream or Greek yogurt
2 eggs
Optional: Ice cream or whipped cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the bottom and sides of a Stone Pie Plate with oil.
Combine the sugar and 1/2 tsp (2 mL)Cinnamon Plus® in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
Using the Quick Slice, slice the apple halves and layer the slices in the bottom of the pie plate. Sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
Melt 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the butter in a small bowl. Add ½ cup (125 mL) Cinnamon Crumb Cake Mix, nuts, if using, and remaining cinnamon plus and mix until crumbly; set aside.
Cream the remaining butter and sour cream together with a stand mixer for 1 minute. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix well after each addition.
Add the remaining cake mix, and mix for 45 seconds, or until well combined. Batter will be thick. Spread the batter over the apples in the pie pan. Sprinkle the crumb mixture on top.
Bake for 38-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for at least 1 hour. If desired, serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
