Cherry Crunch

This is just an easy, nothing too exciting, ingredients on hand, fruity dessert!  It was yummy and just a simple no chocolate dessert!

You can make it with any pie filling you crave and it reminds me alot of a dutch oven dessert!

I will say put the nuts in, they add great flavor and a great crunch!

Cherry Crunch

(http://www.justgetoffyourbuttandbake.com/)

• 1 cube (1/2 cup) butter (room temp)
• 1 pkg white or yellow cake mix (dry)
• 2 cans cherry, blueberry, peach, mixed berry, or your fav. pie filling (or you can make a mix of two different kinds)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans or almonds

Grease a 9 x 13 pan.

Cut 1 stick of butter (with a pastry blender or fork) into 1 pkg dry cake mix until crumbly. 

Pat 1/2 of the cake mix mixture into your 9 x 13 pan.  Reserve the other half for the topping and put aside.

Spread the 2 cans of pie filling over the crumb mixture.

Blend in your nuts into the reserved cake mix.  Crumble the cake mixture no top of the pie filling.  Squeeze small portions into pea size chunks and sprinkle all over.

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees, or until golden brown on the top and bottom.  Make sure the bottom is golden brown too!  My oven actually took longer than 45 minutes, but keep an eye on it so you don't burn!

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream!
