I have been making this Apple and Sour Cream Slice for years, so I thought I had already put this recipe up for you, but I hadn’t. We know it as Little Dreamer Apple Slice and it is an easy and very delicious slice to make.
This lovely recipe has a sweet, cake-like base with a sour cream, apple and a hint of cinnamon on top.
For this recipe, I used a plain, vanilla cake mix, though you could make your own from scratch. The same goes with the apple. You can use either a can of pie apples or you could stew your own apples. The last time I made this, I stewed my own apples as I had purchased a box of apples for a rather good price.
Anyways, here is the recipe!

Notes
Variations:
- Instead of apple you could use peaches, apricots or even raspberries
- To stew your own apples - Place 500g peeled, cored and sliced apples into a saucepan with 2 TBSP white sugar and 1 TBSP cinnamon and enough water to cover the bottom of the saucepan. Boil until the apples are soft. Drain and use as needed.
- You can leave the coconut out of the base if you wish.
