Only 5 ingredients!
The butter melts and the cake mix becomes almost like a crunchy cobbler or crumble on the top. It’s a mix of the two. The fruit cooks and gets gooey and if I’m not careful I’ll eat the entire crust out of the pan with a fork.

5 Ingredients Needed

Cherry Pie Filling: use a store-bought pie filling or make your own! Want a totally peach cobbler? Use peach pie filling instead.
Peaches: sliced peaches in juice or light syrup, drained. I love using canned peaches but you can also use thawed frozen peaches.
Nuts: chopped nuts add incredible texture and a nutty buttery flavor
Cake mix: I’m using yellow cake mix
Butter: It’s ok if the unsalted butter is cold since we’ll be slicing it.

How to make a peach dump cake

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
Pour the cherry pie filling into the bottom of the dish.
Drain the peaches and pour them on top of the cherries.
Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the peaches.
Pour the cake mix evenly over the top.
Slice butter into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to make it even so that it all melts into the cake mix.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the fruit starts to bubble up around the edges and the edges start to turn golden. I baked mine in a deep casserole dish so it took 40 minutes.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
