1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or white cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer the Pie Filling:
Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the Cheesecake Layer:
Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the pie filling and gently spread it out for even coverage.
Add the Cake Mix:
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Drizzle the Butter:
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix, ensuring as much of the surface is covered as possible.
Optional Graham Cracker Crust:
If using graham cracker crumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top for extra crunch and flavor.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
Tips:
Cheesecake Swirl: For a marbled effect, swirl the cream cheese mixture slightly into the pie filling before adding the cake mix.
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy chilled.
Fruit Variations: Try with blueberry, cherry, or peach pie filling for different flavors.
