Simple but delicious dessert: Dump Cake with a twist!

My boss gave me this recipe and I absolutely love it. Such a simple dessert with minimal ingredients but it tastes amazing! The hub said most people know about dump cake... however, this one has a different spin on it called pineapple! Enjoy


Dump Cake

Ingredients:
1 20 oz can of cherry pie Filling
1 16 oz can crushed pineapple
1 package of yellow or white cake mix (Either taste great)
1/2 cup of chopped nuts or sliced almonds (optional)
A whole stick of butter (yes a whole stick but you can use less if you would like)

Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan
2. Pour in cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple. Mix together
3. Sprinkle with cake mix and nuts (if using)
4. Slice butter and place cubes of butter all over top
5. Place in oven for 45 minutes till top is browned off. Don't worry if you still see cake that doesn't look as brown, this cake is great because it has lots of textures.
6. Serve hot with vanilla iced cream or whipped cream

Add some "Sophisti-Edge!"

• Use apple pie filling instead of cherry (do not add pineapple). When cake is finished, drizzle with caramel sauce and top with cinnamon ice cream
• Use strawberry pie filling and banana's in place of the cherries and pineapples. You can top with strawberry ice cream if you would like as well
• Use peach pie filling in place of cherry and pineapple. Try using a butter pecan ice cream with this one...

Add some "Sophisti-Edge!"
This recipe is extremely versatile so there are a number of additions or changes that can be made to make this pie even bolder.

• Use different fruit such as strawberries, pineapples, or raspberries in place of, or in addition to the mangoes. 
• Mojito's are somewhat tropical so add a 1/2 tsp of coconut extract as well
