80 minThe name says it all. Dump the pie filling in the pan. Dump the crushed pineapple over it. Dump the dry cake mix on top. Drizzle with melted butter. Scatter coconut and nuts. Bake. Done.
No mixing bowls, no eggs to crack, no batter to stir. The melted butter soaks into the dry cake mix during baking and creates a crumbly, buttery crust on top while the fruit layers underneath bubble into a thick, jammy sauce.
The magic is in NOT mixing. Keeping everything in layers lets the cake mix crisp on top instead of turning into a uniform batter. You get a dessert that’s part cobbler, part crumble, and completely addictive.
Pro Tips
- Drizzle the melted butter as evenly as possible. Dry patches of cake mix that don’t get butter stay powdery and raw.
- Use any pie filling you like. Cherry and blueberry are classics, but apple or peach work beautifully with the pineapple.
- Don’t stir. Seriously. The whole point is the layers. Stirring turns it into a mushy mess.
- Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. The filling is volcanic straight from the oven.
