Erica’s Cherry Pecan Dump Cake
The humble dump cake is one of the easiest possible desserts to make. Even if you love to bake sometimes easy is nice. All the ingredients
that you actually need are just 2 cans of any fruit pie filling, a box of yellow cake mix, and a stick of butter. You literally just dump all your ingredients together and bake. Very little clean-up, little work, and yet yummy! Dump cake can even be made in a crock pot by cooking it on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. My husband loves cherries so here is my version of Cherry Pecan Dump Cake.
