Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cherry pie filling and drained crushed pineapple in a pan.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish and evenly spread the butter recipe cake mix on top.
- Lightly spread butter on top of the cake mix.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the fruit mixture. If you're out of cherry pie filling, you can substitute it with blueberry or raspberry filling for a different twist. To enhance the texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before baking. This cobbler is similar to the popular Ice Cream Sundae Cake, making it a delightful dessert option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside grilled meats or a fresh salad, making it a versatile addition to your table.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds, but the oven method helps retain the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple instead of canned. Just make sure to chop it into small chunks and drain any excess juice. Fresh pineapple will add a vibrant flavor, but ensure it's ripe for the best sweetness.
What can I do if I don’t have a baking dish?
If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a cast-iron skillet or a similar oven-safe pan. Just ensure it is well-greased to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use individual ramekins for single servings.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the butter recipe cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix, and follow the same instructions. Make sure to check that the cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple are also gluten-free to keep the entire dish compliant.
