Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 oz Canned crushed pineapple
- 21 oz Cherry pie filling
- 1 box Yellow cake mix (low-fat or reduced sugar if available)
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 unit Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Spread the canned crushed pineapple with its juice evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer the cherry pie filling over the pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers. Do not stir.
Drizzle the unsweetened applesauce evenly over the cake mix, ensuring most of the surface is moistened. This replaces the butter traditionally used in dump cakes, reducing the fat content.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of low-fat whipped topping or a scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt, if desired.
