Ingredients

• 3 Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons lemon or orange juice
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Cool Whip if desired

Directions

1. Soak dried cranberries over night in either the rum or orange juice.

2. Core, peel and slice apples to anywhere between 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick. Not sure how many apples this will take, but 3 should be more than enough. Dip apples slices in either lemon juice or orange juice to keep from discoloring.

3. Spray 13×9×2 inch glass pan with non-stick spray (no flour).

4. Arrange apple slices in bottom of pan.

5. Drain cranberries and fill holes of apples and then just sprinkle around.

6. Melt the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on low heat until it just starts to bubble. Pour over the apples and cranberries.

7. Mix the cake mix according to package directions…adding a teaspoon of vanilla.

8. Pour over the apples, cranberries and butter/brown sugar mixture.

9. Bake according t the directions on the box…you might need to bake a little longer…just test your cake and when a toothpick comes out clean or the sides of the cake pull away from the sides of the pan it will be done.

10. Flip immediately out onto your serving platter.

11. Serve with cool whip topping if desired.
