This easy cherry pineapple dump cake recipe turns out amazing! A fruit dessert with only 4 main ingredients and you can add to it like coconut and nuts too.
I wouldn’t use pineapple chunks because they’re going to be quite heavy on top, though if all you have is a can of slices like I did then just cut it right in the can into tidbits using a knife going around the entire thing.

Ingredients
1 box cake mix we used pineapple cake mix
1 can pineapple tidbits or crushed is best, 20 oz.
1 can cherry pie filling 21 oz
1/2 c coconut shredded, optional
1/2 c nuts chopped, optional
1 stick butter melted
Instructions
In a 13x9 pan dump your can of pie filling on the bottom and spread out evenly, we used cherry. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Sprinkle your cake mix on top of that evenly, we used pineapple cake mix but if you can't find that yellow or white would be just fine.
Pour your can of crushed or pineapple tidbits on top of that evenly, include the juice.
Melt your stick of butter and pour that evenly on top of that.
Sprinkle your sweetened shredded coconut over that, then sprinkle with nuts. We used crushed honey roasted pecans.
Put into your oven at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until the middle of your pineapple dump cake is lightly browned and looks like it is stiffening up.
Allow to cool a bit and then scoop out, could put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
