Ingredients
- 2 (15 oz) cans pear halves or slices (in juice or syrup, undrained)
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or spice cake mix)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- Optional toppings: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour canned pears with their juice into the dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the pears.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the fruit—do not stir.
- Drizzle melted butter over the entire surface, covering as much of the cake mix as possible.
- Top with chopped nuts, if using.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and fruit is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh pears if preferred—peel, slice, and toss with sugar and lemon juice first.
- Spice cake mix gives a warmer, more seasonal flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in microwave or oven for best texture.
- No stirring is needed—just layer and bake.
