Ingredients
- 20 oz Canned crushed pineapple
- 21 oz Cherry pie filling
- 1 box Yellow cake mix (low-fat or reduced sugar if available)
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 unit Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Spread the canned crushed pineapple with its juice evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Step 4
Layer the cherry pie filling over the pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers. Do not stir.
Step 6
Drizzle the unsweetened applesauce evenly over the cake mix, ensuring most of the surface is moistened. This replaces the butter traditionally used in dump cakes, reducing the fat content.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of low-fat whipped topping or a scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt, if desired.
