More of a Homemade Apple Dump Cake

This sort of easy recipe has been around for quite awhile now. Although I do like the convenience of it, my take on it is a little different and gives more of a homemade taste.

Homemade Apple Dump Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup melted butter

3 large, green apples - peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Grated zest of one lemon
Juice of one lemon

Prepare your apples and set aside for the moment. Mix the sugar and cornstarch together. Sprinkle over the apples and mix to coat. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice and mix. Put it in a cooking pot and bring to a gentle simmer. You might neet to add a bit of water to 'loosen' up the mixture. When the apples are tender, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Use vegetable oil spray to grease a baking pan approximately 9x13 inches. Spread half of the cake mix into the bottom of the pan. Spread your apple filling carefully over the cake mix. Cover the filling with the rest of the cake mix. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake. Do not stir it in!

Bake for approximately 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. Goes great with freshly made whipped cream or a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Good warm or cold.
