Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 21 oz canned cherry pie filling
- 20 oz canned crushed pineapple (in juice)
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 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 with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Dump the canned cherry pie filling into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Dump the crushed pineapple (with its juice) over the cherry pie filling and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the fruit layer. Do not stir.
Melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much surface area as possible.
If using nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
