Many years ago, I found a stash of recipes from my great-aunt, my grandmother's sister.  I know that people usually get recipes from their grandmother, I did not.

My grandmother never baked and hardly ever cooked.  So, I am guessing my Mom's love of cooking/baking came from her aunt, not her mother. 🤷

Anyway, when I first came across these bars, they sounded not-so-appetizing.  I mean, sour cream? With apples?  Ugh.

But, I was pleasantly surprised once I made them.  They are delicious. Nowadays, I use plain Greek yogurt instead for sour cream, but, they are just as yummy. 

Ingredients Needed

• Cake mix: you will only need the dry mix!
• Butter
• Apples
• Ground cinnamon
• Plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
• Eggs
• Brown sugar

How to Make Creamy Apple Squares:

• Mix the dry cake mix with butter  until crumbly.  Set aside 2/3 cups of it.
• Take the remaining cake mix mixture and press it down into your pan.
• Layer the apples on top.
• Mix together yogurt (or sour cream) with egg. Spread that on top of the apple slices.
• Mix your 2/3 cup of cake mix with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.  Sprinkle it on top of it all.
• Bake!
