Cherry Dump Cake

Fortunately, Cherry Dump Cake is much more delicious than it sounds. Your kids will probably be rolling with laughter at the name, but wait until you pull this baby out of the oven and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. I've omitted the 1/2 cup shredded coconut and 1 cup of chopped pecans specified in The Cake Mix Doctor to make it more of a cobbler.

Cherry Dump Cake

1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling
1 package plain yellow cake mix
1 1/2 sticks butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spoon the pineapple evenly over the bottom of an ungreased 13 by 9 baking dish. Cover the pineapple with the cherry pie filling. Cover the fruit completely with the dry cake mix, then carefully drizzle butter over it.

Bake until dessert is nicely browned, approximately 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake mix topping comes out clean.
