We don’t eat dessert very often.  We never have but there comes a time you just have to breakdown, give in and make something either for company or just a craving.

This cobbler recipe has been around for many years.  More then I care to remember.  It is a great standby if you happen to need dessert in a hurry and you don’t feel like baking or you just simply don’t have the time.  I love it as a time saver without any fuss.  I mean really, you don’t even need a mixer.  How much simpler can it be?  You basically throw everything into a pan and bake.  Do I really have to convince you even more?  Just buy the ingredients and make it.  You won’t regret it.

These are the 3 basic ingredients.  If you like nuts, add them.  The only other ingredient you need is butter.

Into a casserole dish, (mine was approximately 9×13) put in 1 can of pineapple, with juice and 1 can of cherry pie filling.

Mix together.  Add 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts of your choice.

Sprinkle cake mix on top.

Dot with 3/4 cup butter and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour.  Should be nice and golden when ready.  That’s it.  Honest!

Scoop out of casserole dish and serve with whip cream or ice cream, which I didn’t do.  That’s just my way of justifying having a piece.

It is that simple and great to serve warm and last minute for drop in company, grandchildren, neighbors near by,  a party, an afternoon tea or just for a sweet tooth.  So, so simple.
