Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine the cherry pie filling, vanilla extract, and brown sugar.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cherry filling. Do not stir; let it sit on top.
Pour the melted butter and agave syrup evenly over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and bubbly. The edges may be slightly crisp, which is perfect!
Let the dump cake cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Refrigerate: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
