Easy Layered No-Mix Dessert (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/2 cup shelled pecans, chopped (leave out if you want)

02 - 1/2 cup real butter, melted

03 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (real or imitation)

04 - 1/2 cup white sugar

05 - 1 block plain cream cheese, 8 oz, let it soften

06 - 2 big cans (21 oz each) strawberry pie filling

07 - 1 box classic yellow cake mix (around 15.25 oz)

01 - Give it a little time to cool off and dig in while it’s still warm.

02 - Slide into the oven and let it bake 40–45 minutes. You want bubbly fruit and a golden top.

03 - Pour melted butter over everything. Sprinkle pecans on if you grabbed some.

04 - Dust the dry cake mix all over so it covers the cheese spots.

05 - Stir cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar together till smooth. Spoon it over all that fruity goodness.

06 - Dump both cans of the pie filling in the bottom and spread it out.

07 - Fire up your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prep a 9×13 pan with baking spray or a little butter.

01 - Spoon on some whipped cream or ice cream if you want to really treat yourself

02 - Cherry or blueberry pie filling works great here too

03 - Seriously, just layer and bake—no need for fancy mixers
