Equipment

  • slice tin (27 x 17cm)

Ingredients

  • 340 grams butter cake mix
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut (1 cup = 80 grams)
  • 125 grams butter, melted
  • 385 gram canned apple slices
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 300 ml sour cream (tested with full cream)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (or cinnamon)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius / 350 degrees fahrenheit, fan-forced).
  • Grease a slice tin and line with baking paper, leaving extra on each side (to lift the slice from the tin once cooled and set).
  • Mix butter cake mix, coconut and melted butter together. Press into slice tin and level out with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Allow base to cool for 10 minutes and then pour entire contents of tinned apple slices over the base.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, egg and sugar until smooth. Pour mixture over the apple slices and use a spatula to ensure the topping is evenly spread over the base. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the topping is set around the edges and has only a slight wobble in the centre when you gently move the tin.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature and then place the slice in the fridge to set. Allow at least 3 hours for setting.
  • Once set, remove the slice from the tin using the overhanging paper and slice into squares.

Notes

Storing: Store the slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can enjoy it cold or allow it to reach room temperature before serving.
Freezing: You can freeze the slice for up to six months. Wrap the slice in plastic wrap well before freezing and allow to thaw out in the fridge overnight when you're ready to enjoy.
