Why I Love This Recipe
My Grandmother (Elaine Mazur "Nanna") would make this dessert for our family get togethers. She loved this recipe :) Think it was also because it was no mix. She got it from a magazine.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 20 oz can sweetened crushed pineapple
1 can cherry pie filling (ex. Comstock more fruit)
* Option: use any other pie filling flavor you want
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 stick or 1/2 cup of butter/ Margarine
*My variation:
2- 20 oz cans sweetened crushed pineapple
1 can cherry pie filling (Ex. Comstock more fruit)
1 can blueberry pie filling (Ex. Comstock more fruit)
1 cup sweetened coconut minced
2 boxes yellow cake mix
1 1/2 cups crushed Almonds, Pecans or walnuts
2 sticks or 1 cup butter/ Margarine
Directions
Grease 1 13" x 9" pan
Dump pineapple w/ juice into pan and spread evenly
Dump in pie filling by the TBS all over the pineapple and spread out a lil
Sprinkle cake mix over cherry layer evenly
Sprinkle nuts evenly over top of cake layer
Dot butter evenly over nut layer
Bake at 350 until top is browned
* My variation:
Grease 2 13" x 9" pans
Dump 1 can of pineapple w/ Juice in each pan and spread evenly
Sprinkle 1/2 cup minced coconut evenly over pineapple layer in each pan
In bowl mix blueberry and cherry pie fillings together and divide in 1/2 *NOTE Lately I don't mix them together and alternate TBS full of each kind over top of the coconut layer in each pan. (1/2 can of each pie filling in each pan) Takes a lil more time but I think it looks and tastes better that way
Dump 1/2 of pie filling mix by TBS evenly over pineapple layer in both pans and spread out a little
Sprinkle 1 box cake mix evenly over pie filling layer in each pan
Sprinkle 3/4 cup crushed nuts evenly over cake mix layer in each pan
Dot 1 stick or 1/2 cup of butter evenly over nut layer in each pan
Bake at 350 until top is browned
* The reason I make 2 is so I don't waste the leftover pie filling I'd have if I only made 1
