Ingredients

  • 2 20 oz cans cherry pie filling
  • 8 oz whipped cream cheese
  • 1 box yellow cake mix dry
  • ½ cup butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour 2 (20 oz) cans of cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Spoon small dollops of 8 oz whipped cream cheese evenly over the cherry pie filling.
  • In a bowl, combine 1 box dry yellow cake mix with ½ cup melted butter. Mix with a fork until a crumbly texture forms.
  • Evenly sprinkle the cake mix and butter mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  • Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Full-fat cream cheese and regular pie filling give the best flavor and richness. Low-fat versions can turn watery.
Resist the urge to stir after layering. The distinct layers are what create the perfect texture—jammy bottom and crumbly top.
Bake just until the top is golden brown. Overbaking can make the topping too hard instead of crumbly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container or cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for up to 4–5 days.
