I have made the dump cake from your cookbook several times. My son doesn’t like cherries. Is there any other canned fruit you can suggest that would taste good in this caked besides cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple?

Thanks,
Rhonda

Rhonda,
My family has fallen in love with the dump cake but we wanted to change things up a bit, too. So we have tried several different kinds. We have done blueberry pie filling (in place of cherry) with the pineapple, also Mandarin oranges and Peach pie filling. Next we are going to try Strawberry pie filling with ???? we haven’t decided yet. It seems that one can is to be in thin juice (pineapple in natural juice) while the other is thicker (pie filling). (I don’t know if there is a certain reason for this). Oh, my family likes it better when I make it as a single layer (in a oval 6 or 7 quart slow cooker) instead of a double layer, as per recipe. Hope this helps :)

I have heard you can use pumpkin too and it’s really good. I have yet to try it but once I do I will update you more.
