Apple "custard" Dessert

This is a very good apple dessert sorta like apple crisp made very simply with a cake mix. For those who do not like coconut you can omit without a problem and add nuts or raisins. I use a mixture of granny smith and gala apples and slice them directly into my baking dish. This is a dessert company always loves at our house and made frequently in the fall season. This has been in my recipe collection forever and I no longer recall where I found it. Wish I did so I could give the person credit.
