Equipment

9 x 13 baking dish

Ingredients

21 ounce can cherry pie filling
15.25 ounce cake mix yellow or white
½ cup butter melted
non stick spray

Optional

¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 ℉. Spray the baking dish with non stick spray or similar.
Spread the cherry pie filling into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cake mix over the cherries evenly. Pour the melted butter over the cake mix (NOTE 1). If using brown sugar, sprinkle it over the melted butter.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. it is done when a crust has formed and the fruit is bubbling.
Allow cake to rest/cool for 10 minutes before serving.
To serve, simply scoop out of the pan and place on a plate. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

NOTE 1: Try to pour the butter as spread out as possible. The butter will melt in to the cake mix to create the crust. A tip to doing this is to make sure there are no big divots in the cake mix that will allow all the butter to pool in one area.

NOTE 2: Do not mix the ingredients together.

NOTE 3: The brown sugar isn't necessary but it adds a little sweet crust to the cake mix. You can omit it if you want.
