Looking for a way to make people happy with just five ingredients? This Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake is it. All you do is dump, sprinkle, and bake for a sweet, juicy, and fruity dessert that’s so simple even kids couldn’t mess it up. Just make sure to scatter the butter evenly so all the dry mix gets coated. If you’re not keen on cherry pie, almost any canned pie filling will do. For a quick upgrade, top with sliced almonds.
