This recipe is very rich. Lots of sugar!! If you want to make it a little less rich, then take the time to core, peel, and slice fresh apples. Granny Smith apples work well.
Spread apples evenly across bottom of oven and sprinkle with lemon juice. Continue to add ingredients in layers. DO NOT MIX THE INGREDIENTS!
Add 1/2 lb. of brown sugar over top of apples. If lumpy, use your fingers to break up lumps and chunks and sprinkle over the apples evenly. Add the full box of cake mix over top the brown sugar. Add 4 tabs of butter on top of cake mix layer. Again... Do not mix the ingredients.
Sprinkle the cinnamon on top and add the lid to the oven and take to your fire that has been burning outdoors.
Use 16-20 of your favorite charcoal briquettes to establish a base layer. Your Dutch Oven will eventually rest on top of this layer. Place your dutch oven on top of your coals and add five or six to the top of the oven. Cook for 45 minutes until the top is lightly browned and caramelized. Enjoy with some good old fashioned country vanilla ice cream!
