Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick spray.
- Spread the can of peaches evenly in the prepared pan.
- Pour the cherry pie filling over the peaches.
- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top of the cake mix.
- Slice the butter or margarine and distribute it evenly over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding a splash of almond extract to the cherry pie filling for extra flavor. If you don't have yellow cake mix, a vanilla or butter cake mix works well too. For a lighter version, you can substitute unsweetened applesauce for half the butter or margarine, which will keep the cake moist while reducing the fat content.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert. This peach and cherry dump cake pairs beautifully with Sunshine Cake(Orville Wright'S Favorite) for a summer gathering, or enjoy it as a sweet ending to a barbecue. Consider adding fresh mint leaves on top for an extra touch of freshness.
