Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish
  • Non-stick spray
  • Measuring cups
  • Butter knife for slicing
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans blueberry pie filling 21 oz each
  • 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 oz
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, sliced thin or melted 1.5 sticks
  • 1 dash cinnamon for that cozy vibe

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray that 9x13 dish so there is no sticking.
  • Spoon in the blueberry pie filling and spread it out evenly.
    Blueberry pie filling evenly spread across a glass baking dish as the first layer of a blueberry dump cake recipe.
  • Sprinkle on the dry cake mix to cover every fruity bit, including the edges.
    Adding Cake Mix Layer
  • Dot with butter slices or drizzle the melted butter so it forms a good blanket.

  • Scoop it while warm, maybe with ice cream

Notes

Keep your hands off the stirring – let the layers do their thing. For a fresh berries hack, use 4–6 cups plus 1/2 cup sugar. Fridge leftovers keep 3–4 days; freeze them for 2–3 months. If you see dry spots, add more butter so it doesn’t flop.
