I love this wonderful Texas Cobbler dessert! This Dump Cake recipe is made with blueberryand cherry pie fillings, crushed pineapple, almonds, coconut, a butter recipe cake mix and butter. Super easy, super spectacular! And, it’s oh-so-good!

Serve it warm with ice cream, if you desire, with whipped topping, or just plain, but you simply mustserve it! Texas Cobbler is especially good for potlucks and holiday or tailgating parties because everyone loves the combination of fruit, nuts and cobbler-type crust.

Back when we lived in New England, Tanna Jango brought this fabulous dessert to one of our church potlucks. Tanna was a Louisiana girl who met and married a Massachusetts boy and relocated there after she married. She was a wonderful cook and we were privileged to enjoy a lot of her famous cooking when we lived in New England during the 1990s.

Tanna’s recipe actually called for pecans or walnuts, but when she made it that Sunday she had run out of everything but almonds so that’s what she put in the cobbler. I’ve never made it with anything but almonds ever since. It’s so much better that way because the almonds really set off the blueberries and cherries, in my opinion.

I have made this recipe countless times over the years for company. We do a LOT of entertaining and Texas Cobbler is sure to please. Yesterday, when I served this again to company for a big Memorial Day (weekend) pool party bash, one of the gals who ate it kept raving over how delicious it was.

When I told her that it included coconut, she did a double-take, because she HATES coconut. Yet, she LOVED this dessert. She couldn’t believe there was coconut in it–even more that, she ate it and enjoyed it! She also hates fish, but told me she didn’t think I could disguise fishnearly as well as I did the coconut! hahaha 🙂

If you’re looking for a dynamite cobbler recipe for holiday entertaining, potlucks any time of the year, or just simple family dinners, then consider making Texas Cobbler sometime soon. Your family will love it and all your guests will rave over it like mine do every time I serve it. Add a dollop of ice cream or whipped topping and you will be in hog heaven. Yum.

This fantastic dessert is featured at All Free Casserole Recipes here.

Texas Cobbler is one of our favorite Dump Cake-type recipes.

Doesn’t Texas Cobbler look wonderful?

We love the combination of cherryand blueberry pie filling in this cobbler.

Texas Cobbler is the perfect dessert for summer when you’re taking a dessert to a potluck, family reunion, backyard BBQ with friends or just hanging out with friends. It’s quick and easy to prepare and everyone loves it!

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients.

Spread pie fillings and pineapple into the bottom of a greased 9×13″ baking dish.

Stir fruit well to combine. Do not drain the pineapple.

Add coconut and almonds.

Pour dry cake mix over top of almonds. Then pour melted butter over top.

This is what the cobbler looks like before it goes into the oven.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until done. My oven runs slow so it took about 60 minutes.

Each bite of Texas Cobbler is beyond scrumptious!

Your friends and family will love this tasty cobbler.

If you enjoy the flavors of blueberries and cherries, you’ll love this cobbler.

Prepare yourself for an explosion of flavor! Be warned, Texas Cobbler is addictive!

Here’s the recipe.

          Barbara, Usually they are 21-ounces. But for this type of recipe, having more will not be a bad thing. The pineapple may be 28-ounces. Use the largest can.

    I have made this recipe multiple times, first time for guests. Since my husband has celiac disease, I used a Gluten-Free cake mix. No one noticed a difference in the flavor of the cake, of course, all of that yummy butter, who would? Let me just say it is delicious, but just for special occasions, too much butter to eat on a regular basis. I will be trying the other flavors as well.

          Hi Janice. I think the size I’m referring to with pineapple or pie filling is about 20 or 21 ounces. I would probably replace the pineapple with another can of pie filling – perhaps raspberry or blackberry, or another one of cherry or blueberry. It’s a delicious recipe. Hope you enjoy it.

Though the largest percent of the comments are very supportive and appreciative of your sharing this recipe, I find it amazing that some people are not able to ask a simple question but instead prefer to be ignorant and insulting. I’m sure their mamas must be so proud of them. There is always a place in this world for good manners.

    This is one of those recipes for the creative baker – I have made this dozens of times for the last 30 years or so – any kind of canned pie mixture works and you can sprinkle any kind of chopped nuts on it. In a 13×10 cake pan I use 3 cans of cherry – it’s my grandchildren’s favorite. I eliminate the coconut and pineapple because we don’t care for it. Important to distribute cake mix evenly over top. I take a handful out of the box and run it through my fingers so it’s not in globs. Also, this is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day after spending the night in the refrigerator. Every time we get together the kids say, “Bring the cherry cobbler grandma.”

      Hi, Diane. Yes, I, too, have tried every combination available, although we love the coconut and pineapple. When I received this recipe back in the early 90s, it was the first time that I had tasted the combo of cherry and blueberry pie filling. Since then I have been much more adventurous!

      I’ve had this with just cherry pie filing & at times with the pineapple, but have never mixed the pie fillings. (Cherry & blueberry). My mom & I (both from TX) have been making our version with pecans for yrs, but this sounds interesting. Even tho I love fresh blueberries, I’m not crazy about cooked blueberries. Have you ever tried this with cherry pie filling and blackBerry filing? Just wondering how that would turn out. And btw, I love coconut and almonds too! And I love the fact you use 2 sticks of butter. 1 never seems like enough. I haven’t done this but for even more crunch, we could put it under the broiler for a few minutes.

      Donna, I have used fresh fruits before. I wash and slice down depending on the fruit, or leave whole, (you will probably need about a pint of 3 different flavors). Add 1/2 to 1 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you want it), and about 3 heaping tablespoons of flour to the fresh fruit. Stir and then place it in the bottom of the baking dish. Follow the remaining parts of the recipe as desired.

    That looks delish! I will definitely be trying this one. As a side note if your oven runs slow (cool) just buy an oven thermometer and place it in your oven; turn your oven on to 350 and let it preheat for 20 minutes; check the temp on the thermometer to see what the actual temp really is. Now you know how cold your oven is. If the thermometer says 300 but you set your oven to 350 you now know that you need to set your oven approximately 50 degrees hotter than the recipe calls for. Always check the thermometer before you begin to bake a recipe and adjust the temp dial up or down as needed. I’ve done this for years and wouldn’t be without an oven thermometer. They’re about $5-$7 in almost any store. Good luck!

      Thanks Peggy, it really is a great recipe. Everyone who tries it loves the recipe – even those who don’t normally eat coconut! Yes, we’ve tested my oven and it seems to be about 35 degrees under what it should be even though it was calibrated by a service technician shortly after we purchased it a couple of years ago! I usually forget to set it 35 degrees higher and just end up baking everything a little longer! 🙁

    You didn’t tell what degree to put the oven temperature.

        I’ve updated the instructions. I hope this helps, because there is no instruction #6 on the recipe card.

      Sorry, Carol, it has taken me so long to reply. I have been on a Navaho mission trip with our church and have not been near the Internet for over a week. It is a great cobbler. I made it twice while we were on this mission trip and everyone loved it!

    What temperature do you bake this at? I looked but did not see this information.

      350 always works well for baked goods or use temp printed on cake mix box

      I usually bake it at 350 for as long as it takes to bake it. I made it last week in a new oven and it took almost 2 hours to bake completely. The second time I made it, it was done in about 30 minutes!

    I tried this and ended up with the cake mix not cooking in several places and just stayed in the powder form. What did I do wrong??

      Probably did not get an even spread on the butter to cover cake mix. Another method (the one I use on dump cakes) is to cut the butter into one tbls pads and then place these evenly on top of the cake mix. When the it bakes the butter melts into the mix.

        Yes, I’ve done it like that before as well. Normally, I just drizzle the butter over top of the cake. The secret is to bake it long enough. Once the pie filling bubbles up to the surface well and the top browns, the cobbler gets the correct crust and I rarely have dry spots on the cake.

        Try freezing the butter. Then grate the butter evenly over the cake mix.

      Normally, I try to drizzle the butter as evenly over top of the cake as possible. Then when I bake the recipe, I bake it until the fruit pie fillings bubble up to the surface around the entire edge of the cobbler. By that time, usually all of the cake mix has dissolved into the cake. Sometimes this means cooking the cobbler almost an hour. It just depends on how many other things are in the oven at the same time.

      It is so wonderful. I just made it again twice in the past week. Everyone I served it to absolutely loved the recipe and many asked for the recipe, too. It’s so quick and easy, you just can’t beat it.

        Could I mix the butter into the cake mix and then spread on top?

          Hi, Margaret, you can always try it, but not sure it’s necessary in the cake mix as it’s already pretty rich. However you may try both versions and prefer yours to mine! That’s what it’s all about. Enjoy.

        Made this cobbler this morning for lunch at my sister’s. Always try a new recipe to make sure its edible (my cooking, not the recipe). It is absolutely delicious!. The almonds provide a crunchiness. And the combined flavor of the cherries, pineapple and blueberries is amazing. Will try more of your recipes!
