Ingredients

Cherry Filling

2 cans cherry pie filling 21 ounces each

Topping

1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 ounces
0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
0.5 teaspoon almond extract
0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Pour cherry pie filling into the prepared dish, spreading evenly. Drizzle almond extract over the cherries.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry filling, covering the entire surface.
Pour melted butter gently over the cake mix. If using, sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and cherry filling is bubbly.
Cool for at least 15 minutes on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use high-quality butter for a richer topping. Avoid overbaking; start checking around 30 minutes. You can substitute the cherries with other pie fillings like apple, peach, or blueberry.
