Also called cobbler with cake mix, this dessert is like a sweet casserole made with canned pie filling and cake mix from a box. It's quick to assemble, and the result is crowd-pleasing good. The mix of flavors is wonderful, and it can be made ahead.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Dump 21 ounces (1 can) strawberry pie filling into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Top with 1 cup fresh sliced strawberry chunks.
Drain 20 ounces (1 can) pineapple and cut into bite-sized pieces. Scatter over the strawberries.
Drizzle over ½ cup pineapple juice and stir lightly to mix.
Sprinkle 15.25 ounces (1 box) yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layer. Drizzle 1 cup unsalted butter, melted, trying to cover most of it. Don't stir! It might have a few dry patches.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
If not using fresh strawberries, use 2 cans of strawberry pie filling.For a crunchier dessert, scatter some chopped pecans or almonds before adding the dry ingredients.
