Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 42 oz canned fruit pie filling (e.g., cherry or apple)
- 20 oz crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix (dry)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Spread the canned fruit pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the crushed pineapple (along with its juice) evenly over the pie filling.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, ensuring it's distributed in an even layer.
Drizzle the melted butter across the top of the cake mix, aiming to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.
If using chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the butter-covered cake mix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as is, or pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
