Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 21 oz Cherry pie filling
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of butter to prevent sticking.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Pour the crushed pineapple (including its juice) over the cherry pie filling and spread it out to create an even layer.
Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Thinly slice the butter and place the slices evenly over the top of the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans and white chocolate chips evenly over the butter slices.
If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon over the entire dish for added holiday flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat.
