Going to try this today !
If you use can peaches how many can’s and do you still use the pineapple or use another fruit
I would use a large can of peaches. You could do either on the other fruit, Sue. Just use your imagination and experiment with what you like.
I just love this filling , wish i had more of it … Yes !
I HAVE MADE THIS USING APPLE PIE FILLING BEFORE AND IT WAS SO GOOD. I WILL MAKE IT USING BLACKBERRIES.
how is this cake the NEXT day? does it hold up? can you MAKE it a day ahead, and then somehow heat it up, or just serve it cold?
I just heat it up in the microwave if you want it heated the next day or eat it cold.
thanks!!
Can I use a white cake mix? Don’t have a yellow.
Yes, you can Jeanne.
Made this yesterday using lemon cake mix; everyone loved it! Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂
Can’t wait to try this. Wondering how it would work with blackberries and pineapple.
That sounds good to me.
Could I use blueberry pie filling and omit the sugar?
You can try it.
can you use blackberries instead of blueberries ?
Yes, you can.
I just made this and it is delicious although it had a lot of juice and looked a little “runny” is it supposed to be that way or should I drain it?
It should not be real runny, Tina. There will be some juice though.
This is my hubbys fav dessert…. but in our house I use 1 can of apple pie filling and I can of cherry pie filling. Then I sprinkle cinnamon over the filling then put the cake mix on top! So yummy!!! Have you ever done the blueberry with lemon cake mix? I wonder how good that is? Because I just love the butter cake mix!!!
Could crushed pineapple be used instead of the tidbits?
Does the crust topping come out gooey or crunchy? I can’t stand for the topping to be gooey after it sits awhile. Just wondering…
It’s kind of like pie crust.
I make this only with peaches instead of blueberries. Family loves it!
So you make the cake batter or just use it dry and pour the dry mix on top?
Use it dry.
Just made this …Wow!!!! Easy, easy, easy, and delish!! Thanks..
I made this tonight!!! My family loved it !!!
Love your recipes.
Thank you for sharing!!
I have made this using apple pie filling and sliced apples from the can leaving out all other fruits. It was like apple cobbler. You could probably use the canned apple or fresh instead of the pineapple.
Do you use fresh blueberries? Would frozen blueberries work?
Yes, Dave, you could use either.
Can’t find a Kroger cake mix, what can I substitute ?
You can use any brand cake mix.
if you use canned pie filling blueberries, instead of fresh, how many cans would you use for the 3 cups of fresh? what about the “syrup” or “juice” that comes in a pie filling?
I think the canned pie filling comes in a 20 ounce can. I would just use that one. Drain if you can.
Wonder what could be substituted for the pineapple…allergy in the family to pineapple
I think 3 apples chopped into small bits would work. Apple sauce would be too runny. Pear or peaches could also work.
Just made the Blueberry Dump Cake. I added extra blueberries, and little extra sugar. Delicious! !!
As a Florida girl, I use coconut in quite a few recipes. When making dump cake of any flavor, I add coconut as my first layer, before the fruit. Then just before it is done, I sprinkle a little bit on top and return to oven to brown.
Just wanted to thank the Southern Lady for all of he tasty love. G LOVE2YA! Sweetness!.
Can you use any fruit for this and also can you use canned pie filling?
Yes, you can!
If you can use canned pie filling,then would i use about 3 cups as same as 3 cups of blueberry on your recipe? TKS
Yes, that is what I would do, Sherry.
This looks and sounds really good! I have mine in the oven for homecoming dinner after Church tomorrow. Happened to have freshly picked blueberries.
The blueberry dump cake was fantasatic! It was a hit!
So happy you enjoyed this recipe! Have a great week.
This is WONDERFUL!! I made this yesterday to take to my in-laws for a family get-together and they were scraping nibbles off the empty pan!!! I made it again today to take to my family’s cookout &, again, it was a huge success! Thanks so much for the awesome & easy recipe, Judy!!! My whole family thanks you!
