This Apple & Sour Cream Slice ranks right up in the old-fashioned slice category with Peppermint Slice, Jelly Slice, and Coconut Ice. These classic slices have been around for a long time.
Homemade Old Fashioned Apple & Sour Cream Slicing
Some variations of this cake use a packet cake mix as the base, but mine is entirely homemade (and couldn’t be simpler!). The base for the homemade teacake is made in just one bowl and takes only a few minutes to prepare. Forget about buying a packet of the mix! This version is much cheaper and easier to make.
The Ingredients for Apple & Sour Cream Slicing
For the Base:
