Cooking

- Beat. Mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Layer. Spread the pie filling in the dish, dollop on the cream cheese mixture, then sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over everything.
- Butter. Pour the melted butter slowly over the whole surface so no dry patches remain.
- Bake. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until golden on top and bubbling around the edges.
- Serve. Cool 10 minutes, top with sliced strawberries, and serve warm.
Notes
Substitutions: Use blueberry or cherry pie filling, or a chocolate cake mix for a deeper flavor.
Tips: Cover every dry spot with butter and do not stir the layers.
