Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 21 oz canned fruit pie filling (e.g., cherry or apple)
- 15 oz canned crushed pineapple
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
Spread the canned fruit pie filling evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice, over the pie filling and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, ensuring it completely covers the surface.
Slice the butter into thin pats and distribute evenly across the top of the cake mix layer, ensuring as much coverage as possible.
Optionally, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the butter layer for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
