Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box dry yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the filling evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the layer of cherry filling. Do not mix the layers.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a richer topping, you can substitute the yellow cake mix with a white or butter cake mix.
- If you prefer a crispier topping, sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts over the butter before baking.
- This recipe works well in a slow cooker set to low for 3 to 4 hours. Do not cover the slow cooker tightly; use a clean kitchen towel under the lid to catch condensation.
