Stir in the remaining cake mix, apples and candies with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are moist. Drop onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper using a 1 Tbs. Sized cookie scoop, place the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-13 minutes or until just barely set in the center when lightly touched. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before
