I also add about 1 cup raisins, with 1\/2 to 1 cup boiling water to plump them up, then I let the raisins sit 20 minutes & drain off the water before adding to apple pie filling!<\/p>
I'd meant to say I'd ALSO used different flavors of pie fillings! Dawn E. Lowenstein<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"05\/26\/2013 12:59","GUID":"d052fe7a9f4541dabf871f32b43f88ca","MemberId":3766053,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"delowenstein","SubmittedDate":"05\/26\/2013 13:14"},{"Comment":"
I meant to say I've used this recipe, using other flavors of pie filling besides cherry-the best ones to me are: apple, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, lemon filling! I take it to our chapel for fellowship time & it's a hit with everyone! When I use apple pie filling, I add 1\/2 tsp. ground cinnamon & 1\/4 tsp. ground nutmeg, 1 Tbsp.lemon juice, mix it together & I also add about 1 cup raisins, soaked in boiling water for about 20 minutes & then drained.<\/p>
I think the apple-raisin filling is a treat!<\/p>

I HAVE used this delicious recipe time and again! I've aso used different pie fillings rather than just cherry to have a wide variety<\/p>
of flavors and its gone over very well!<\/p>
Instead of walnuts, I've used 1 cup either quick or old-fashioned oats + 1\/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut! That has worked out well for me, too! THANK YOU, Ann Eastman, for this recipe! It's a REAL WINNER! Dawn E.

Found that the topping did not crisp up. I will try it again but this time I will add oats and brown sugar to the reserve cup for the topping.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"05\/26\/2013 12:46","GUID":"1f15ffca86e94df6bd81a9c0fede2fbc","MemberId":2116065,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"Mom Kat","SubmittedDate":"05\/26\/2013 12:46"},{"Comment":"
My grandmother used to make this - she used Butter pecan cake mix and chopped pecans instead of the walnuts. The key is not to use a cake mix with pudding in it - it will get soggy. When I bring this for potlucks- no one believes how simple it is- it is delicious and popular!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"05\/26\/2013 11:30","GUID":"95901fbc31234d27a6cc60ddc9117c4a","MemberId":6865329,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"kamrn45","SubmittedDate":"05\/26\/2013 11:30"},{"Comment":"
I've made this many times over the years and it has been delicious everytime. My recipe called Cherry Dump Cake or just Dump cake also calls for a 20 oz can of UNDRAINED crushed pineapple (or pineapple tidbits). I pour & spread the pie filling into the pan, then then pour & spread the pineapple w\/juice over the pie filling. Sprinkle the entire dry yellow cake mix over the fruits, melt the stick of butter and drizzle over the cake mix. I've never had it come out in squares like this recipe picture shows, but spoon it in a bowl & serve with a scoop (or two) of vanilla ice cream...YUMMY!<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"05\/26\/2013 11:27","GUID":"7E209B317D06C0F1EDD016957AC23961","MemberId":203064,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Mangohead","SubmittedDate":"05\/26\/2013 11:27"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"05\/26\/2013 10:11","GUID":"aab3a1dfc22d4ecc83656b703a89bfaf","MemberId":5219559,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"smacg@highspeedcrow.ca","SubmittedDate":"05\/26\/2013 10:11"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"05\/26\/2013 09:29","GUID":"3acd2cd1cd7644fda033cc12788e7ca2","MemberId":5069700,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"sgoodmurphy","SubmittedDate":"05\/26\/2013 09:29"},{"Comment":"

I made this a couple times years ago - attracted, mostly to the ease of making it. I was disappointed in the flavor - the cake mix was predominant. And it was impossibly crumby and dry. Because it's so easy to make, I'd love it if somebody came up with something that would taste better than the yellow cake mix! I make many desserts that use cake mixes and never have this problem with any other recipe. Help, please!<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"05\/26\/2013 07:07","GUID":"877796184ccc43a1bb9c96ceb34b387a","MemberId":7160373,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"SimpleFoods","SubmittedDate":"05\/26\/2013 07:07"},{"Comment":"

It would not stay together as a square should, the flavor of the golden cake mix used as a base was odd, and no amount of baking would make the top crisp. It just stayed soggy and had the texture of raw cake batter. Yuk.<\/p>","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"02\/16\/2010 19:31","GUID":"736b8b257b12472badab13522cfbe872","MemberId":1786091,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"BrandiH","SubmittedDate":"02\/16\/2010 19:31"},{"Comment":"
