Apple Crisp

5-6 large baking apples
1/3 c. water
1 9-oz. pkg. yellow cake mix (Jiffy is the perfect size!)
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Pampered Chef® Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle or ground cinnamon
1/4 c. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Place in 9X9 baking dish; add water.

In large bowl, combine cake mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Mix well. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples.

Bake 35-40 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm; top with vanilla ice cream if desired.

*If you want to make this for a large crowd, double the recipe and bake in a 9X13 baking dish.

I like to use a variety of apples for the varying tastes and textures, but it's also good with all the same type apples.

This is probably Caleb's favorite dessert. Every time I make it, he tells me it's better than the time before. :o)
