Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 2 large Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Spread the fresh cranberries and diced apples evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cranberries and apples.
Step 4
Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the fruit layer.
Step 5
Arrange the butter slices evenly over the top of the cake mix, ensuring that most of the cake mix is covered. Gaps are okay as the butter will melt and spread as it bakes.
Step 6
If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the butter.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
