Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 42 oz cherry pie filling
- 20 oz crushed pineapple (juice included)
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the crushed pineapple (along with its juice) over the cherry pie filling, spreading it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers; do not mix it in.
Slice the butter into thin pats and distribute them evenly over the top of the cake mix to cover the entire surface.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling slightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
