Ingredients

1 21 oz can cherry pie filling (or 4 cups of homemade cherry pie filling)
1 box 15.25 ounces yellow or white cake mix
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbs maple or agave syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Mix the cherry pie filling with the brown sugar and vanilla. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cherry filling. Do not stir; let it sit on top.
Mix the melted butter with the agave syrup. Pour the mixture over the cake mix, trying to cover as much of the mix as possible. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and bubbly. The edges may be slightly crisp, which is perfect!
Let the dump cake cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
