Instructions
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Spread the two cans of cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with the dry cake mix. Mix with your hands or a pastry blender until it forms coarse crumbs.

Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the cherry pie filling.
-
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.

Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a cherry almond twist, add 1 teaspoon of almond extract to the cherry pie filling and sprinkle 3/4 cup of slivered almonds on top.
- Swap cherry pie filling with any fruit filling like peach, apple, or blueberry.
- For a cheesecake flavor, add cream cheese to the mixture.
- Make ahead: You can assemble the dump cake and refrigerate it for up to a day before baking.
