Fool-Proof Dessert





My mother-in-law introduced me to this quick and easy dessert recipe back when I was struggling to improve my culinary skills.  This dessert may not win points for presentation, but you'll score plenty on taste!

1.  Spray 9x13x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray
2.  Pour a 20 ounce can of fruit (do not drain the juice) into the baking dish
3.  Sprinkle one 18.25 ounce cake mix on the fruit and juice 
4.  Melt one stick of butter and drizzle over the cake mix.  
5.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until top becomes golden 
      brown.

The dessert pictured above is pineapple - a can of pineapple tidbits and a pineapple cake mix.

We also like the following: butter pecan cake mix on peaches and chocolate cake mix on cherries.  Canned fruit pie filling will not work, you need the fruit juice with the cake mix.

  2. Ra'Chel - You won't be sorry. Let the kids help, in fact, you can let them do it all. Just be careful when they melt the butter in the microwave!
