This is like a cobbler. I use a spoon to scoop a bunch out and put on a plate. This is great with ice cream on top!

Sounds Yummy - I only have a box of Butter Pecan cake mix & Apple pie filling in the pantry, so will try that - will see what happens. :roll:

I have tried all sorts of combinations:

Chocolate Cake Mix with 2 cans of cherry pie filling

Spice Cake Mix (or Carrot) with 2 cans Apple Pie Filling

When I made the first spice cake one, the cake mix remained in its original condition, so I began cutting the 1 1/2 sticks of butter into the cake mix with a pastry blender. Worked beautifully, so now I do that with every version I make.

DH is a diabetic, so I use the sugar free mixes by Pillsbury & they work beautifully! There are so many sugar free & no sugar added fruits/pie fillings that I can continue making these, even though there isn't a spice cake - yet. I am working on the correct proportions of spices into the yellow mix.

Edit: I always serve them with vanilla ice cream (sugar free now!)

Kathy, what a great idea to cut the butter into the cake mix - THANKS for the great tip!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

This is a girl scout camping staple. For years I only thought this could be made in a dutch oven over charcoal. I finally got smart and now make it often in the oven.

I remember this from the 70's. My sister-in-law used to make it. Miss her :(

I've never cared too much for yellow cake so I use a butter pecan cake mix. It smells wonderful as it is baking. I've also used blueberry pie filling along with the crushed pineapple.

Pegleg, that sounds like a good combination!
