German Layered Apple Cake

6 cups apples -- peeled and sliced
1 package German Chocolate cake mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup margarine -- softened
3 large eggs
1/2 cup nuts -- walnuts or pecans

FROSTING:
3 ounces cream cheese
4 tablespoons margarine -- softened
3 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350°. Spread 1/2 of apples evenly in greased 9 X 13 pan. In a large bowl, mix dry cake mix, cinnamon, water, margarine and eggs at low speed until smooth; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in nuts. Pour half of the batter evenly over apples and repeat layers. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until tests done.

For frosting, in a small bowl blend ingredients until smooth. Frost cooled cake.



Serving Ideas : I sometimes break some extra nuts up and put on top of frosting.
