Blueberry Cobbler with Cake Mix and Pie Filling 👨‍🍳🥧😀 3 Ingredient Blueberry Dump Cake | Easy Recipe

Blueberry cobbler with cake mix is a dump cake recipe that's perfect for beginner cooks or for feeding a crowd. With just 3 basic ingredients (pie filling, cake mix, and butter), along an optional Parnell The Chef one, you can make a delicious berry cobbler for you and your family. If you're looking for an easy summer dessert recipe for the 4th of July, picnics, barbecues, or even Thanksgiving or Christmas, this one is for you.
Like all dump cakes, this recipe is super easy because all you have to do “dump” the ingredients into the pan. After greasing a 9x13 inch pan with some butter, I opened the 2 cans of blueberry pie filling and poured them into the pan, using my spatula to spread out the filling evenly.
Although this dump cake cobbler would be good with just the 3 basic ingredients, I wanted to add my Parnell The Chef touch to make it even better. Since lemon brings out berry flavor, I decided to sprinkle some lemon juice on top of the blueberry pie filling to help make it taste more homemade.
If you want, you could add a bit of cinnamon as well, but since canned blueberry pie filling is less flavorful than homemade filling, I think that adding a lot of spices would probably mask the fruit flavor. Honestly, I think that just a bit of lemon juice is all you need to take this cake mix cobbler to the next level.
After mixing in the lemon juice, it was time to add the “crust” by “dumping” a box of cake mix over the pie filling. I tried to sprinkle the cake mix as evenly across the top as possible, but I went back and spread it out with a spoon just to make sure it was all even.
I recommend using white or yellow cake mix since those flavors are the most neutral, but I think that lemon, spice, or even chocolate would be interesting. If you use a different cake mix, let me know how your dump cake turns out!
The last step in making my blueberry cobbler with cake mix was adding the butter. I took two sticks of very cold butter and sliced them into pads as thinly as possible. In the video, I think I said I made 3-4 slices out of each tablespoon, but I may have made 5.
When slicing the butter, make sure that the butter is cold and that you use a sharp knife. If the butter is warm or your knife is dull, it will be very hard to slice the butter thinly.
As you slice the butter, lay the pads on top of the cake mix, distributing them across the top as evenly as possible. This way, as the dump cake bakes, the butter will melt down and out, soaking into the cake mix and making a buttery, crunchy crumb topping for the dump cake blueberry cobbler.
If you’d rather not slice the butter into pads, you could try freezing the butter, grating it on a cheese grater, and then sprinkling the butter on top of the cake mix. Although I have seen blueberry dump cake cobbler recipes in which people melt the butter and then pour it over the top, I think it might be difficult to distribute the butter evenly if you do it that way.
After baking the dump cake in the oven, I couldn’t wait to try it. Honestly, this blueberry cobbler with cake mix was very good. It has a deliciously crunchy and butter crust and a soft berry filling, the bit of lemon juice helping to bring out the flavor.
However, as with other dump cake recipes, the fruit flavor wasn’t as strong as an old fashioned cobbler, and since there’s sugar in both the filling and the cake mix crumb crust, this was a bit on the sweet side. But considering how easy it is to make, I think this is a good recipe.
This 3 ingredient blueberry cobbler with cake mix would be perfect for beginner cooks or if you need to feed a crowd. Whether for the 4th of July or Thanksgiving, this is definitely a recipe to try. 👨‍🍳🥧😀

I made this tonight and it was great! I used a smaller dish, 1 can of pie filling, 1 stick of butter, and lemon cake mix. Delish!

[@ParnellTheChef]

I'm so glad to hear that you liked the dump cake, Jewels! Good to know that it still works out with just 1 can of pie filling and 1 stick of butter, too. Once again, I'm happy that you enjoyed the recipe. Let me know if you try any of my others! 👨‍🍳🥧😀

Looks good! I wish we had canned pie fillings here. Thanks for the recipe!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Parnell 👋 I love the dump cakes because they are so easy but so good! I like the idea of lemon cake mix with the blueberries. I think that would be a great combo!🫐🍋 The more butter the better lol I definitely use the smell test to know when something is done. Looks delicious, thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

[@ellendelights]

Hello Parnell! I love all of your Cobbler recipes so delicious and unique!!! Love anything with Blueberry, another delicious dessert my Friend!!!

[@vickyflores3557]

It looks nice and easy. You could shred the butter

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Vicky! Yes, I will have to give that a try next time. If you give that technique a try before I do, please let me know how it turns out👍😉

[@deliagarza8021]

Added lemon juice and wow it does bring out the blueberry flavor .. thanks so much for that tip...and Merry Christmas 🎅

[@ParnellTheChef]

You're welcome! Glad to hear it turned out well--and Merry Christmas to you, too! 👨‍🍳🎅

[@sayaniskitchen]

Nicely prepared & well presented, thoroughly enjoyed the whole process and absolutely love the end result,, Looks so Delicious & tasty,, nice sharing ,, watching fully,, stay tuned..

[@IntheKitchenwithKaren]

Hi Parnell!! What a quick and easy dessert. I hear what you are saying about the blueberry flavor using the canned blueberry filling. And adding the lemon juice was a very good idea. Ive never tried the canned filling before. I like the idea of using one can of filling and the rest fresh blueberries!!

[@cookingwithjonny2071]

Wow! Looks so delicious and yummy recipe Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe👏👍

[@mollypurcellmealprep]

this looks amazing and easy, right up my ally :)

[@CookingwithAnadi]

that looks so awesome Parnell. The ingredients are minimal so that's awesome to make it in a hurry! Love how loaded with blueberries it is and you've given some really clear instructions! I'd love to try that out! I've never used canned filling before but it's looking great and a nice shortcut for sure! Well done!

[@asmrrelaxationtv8673]

Wonderful Video. Thank You For Sharing. Have a nice day!🧡👍

[@7bambam7]

Oh that's AWESOME.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thank you, it definitely was!😀👍

[@vnette9777]

My favorite,Chef Parnell.Definitely going to make this one.Heaven.🙏🌠♥️🙂Hmm I will watch the cobbler before I decide which one to make.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, V Nette! Although this one was good, my video for "Recipe for Blueberry Cobbler" has more intense blueberry flavor...but this one is very easy, and the crumb topping is very buttery. I'm sure you'll like whichever you make. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍😀

[@LKR5676]

I've been making this for years as followers. 1 can blueberries 1 small can pineapple crushed with juice Yellow cake mix I stick butter, melted and poured over 3/4 c pecans chopped 3/4 c coconut shredded Once finished, top with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. We also eat it at breakfast, cold. YUM!

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thanks for sharing your recipe, Lisa. I think that the combination of blueberry and pineapple would be good, as would the addition of pecans and coconut. I wish I could get Blue Bell ice cream here in Illinois--I've heard so much about it. Thanks for watching and sharing!😀👍

[@dragons8822]

Do you have a fresh BlackBerry crisp ? Along with these fresh fruit crisps, blueberry & cherry crisps ? None of these combined.

[@nickbownz]

Killer tip, Lisa. Looking forward to trying.

[@kathycunningham6677]

Hi Parnell, Love this recipe because it’s quick n easy if you need a dessert just that way quick n easy. I will go back and look up your homemade blueberry clobber. Ooh that’s a great idea to use a lemon cake mix…..but one dump cake at a time, lol! I would like the more prominent blueberry taste in the dump cake or cobbler so off I go to check your prior recipe, yum….😊 Thank you so much…I’ve come to enjoy Mondays waiting for next video n recipe…. Have a fantastic and blessed week.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Kathy! Thanks for the continued support as always. Like I said in the video, I have other desserts with a more pronounced blueberry flavor. The cobbler I was telling you about - The flavor was perfect, but I added too many dumplings to the filling: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZSwq3quiL2Dms0 Blueberry pie w/ frozen blueberries - This one was perfect in every way as is. Absolutely amazing if you have frozen wild blueberries: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXScl6x8pJijpLM I have another recipe coming next Monday (hint, it will likely be a similar recipe, but with a different fruit, haha) So stay tuned! Have a great week!😀

[@onfirefoley2792]

Oh for yum! Thank you once again

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thanks for watching and commenting as always, Foley! 👍😀

[@tinaadams5993]

It look good go to try it hope it come out like your s

[@ParnellTheChef]

Awesome, Tina! Let me know how it turns out--I'm sure it will be delicious 👍😀

[@Bake_That]

Hi Parnell! I have always wanted to make a dump cake. This cake turned out awesome and I am sure smelled amazing! I love that its a combination of a cake and a cobbler.

[@mwmiddleton]

Mix about a quarter of one pie filling with Cool Whip folding it in and cover after baking. The essence of the filling makes for great topping. 😋

[@ParnellTheChef]

Thank you for the idea--I'll have to give that a try 👍

[@phyllisboyse2024]

I made this once, as the lady suggested, with her measurements, but had spaces that the cake mix was still dry.

[@ParnellTheChef]

I'm sorry to hear that your dump cake was dry. Maybe it needed a bit more butter? Or maybe the cake mix was a bit thick in some spots?

[@educationhub760]

Easy and tasty Amazing upload, i wish i was there, enjoy, remember us in prayers, May Allah fill your life with happiness and success, stay safe and connected dear friend 🤗👍I truly appreciate your regular effort... No words to express my gratitude towards the hardworking.. Good keep it up dear god bless you... Grow up best of luck good job, i love it, your upload is useful for many people , 👍🏻😊

[@DebrasDeliciousDishes]

You make the best dessert can't wait to see

[@nateuerdaz8038]

You don't need to smooth out the top. But chocolate cake and cherry pie filling is amazing

[@ParnellTheChef]

I will have to try chocolate cake mix and cherry pie filling. Like you said, I'm sure it's amazing!👍😀

[@millboroquiltersouthdakota6037]

I don’t spread out the cake mix I make wholes or creeks or draws cause I want the butter to pool. And I use pineapple cake mix and lemon cake mixes and I use vanilla not lemon juice on top of my fruit.

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi! I think having the butter pool in certain places would be nice, too. Pineapple or lemon cake mix would be good alternatives too, as would the vanilla. I think this base recipe is pretty versatile and can go in a lot of different directions, so thanks for the ideas. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🍍🍋👍😀

[@BeautifulVoyager]

You make it seem so easy to make. You have a new subscriber friend here. Let's keep connected :DL

[@Recipes-art]

Delicious recipe! 👌🤤 You got a new subscriber! ☺️👍

[@hawkeye19531]

Could you use fresh blueberries or mulberries?

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Dave! I think you could, but even though the cake mix has sugar, I would still add some to the fruit. Depending on how much fruit you use, I'd say about 1/2 to 1 cup for the whole 9x13 pan...maybe do 3/4 if you want it to be sweet, but not super sweet. Don't forget some cornstarch, too...probably 2 to 4 tablespoons...and some lemon juice and a pinch of salt, too. I will have to make another video next year with fresh blueberries at some point. Let me know how it turns out!👍😀

[@mischermer4767]

If you are going to use juice of a lemon, spread it in the pan with basting brush before adding pie filling.

[@ParnellTheChef]

That's a good idea! My only concern is that it might not get distributed all the way through the pie filling if it goes in on the bottom. If either you or I tries the recipe that way, we will definitely have to report back. Thanks again for the idea 🍋👨‍🍳

[@angelarigido7161]

USE CARROT CAKE BOX MIX....BARRRF!!!!!!!!

[@daisypacheco4297]

Bro you’re not good at marketing jeeez

[@pamelamurray2978]

You talk to much!!

[@brendashanks9658]

Add cream cheese and use spice cake mix...

[@ParnellTheChef]

I will definitely do that next time. The first time I make a recipe, I usually make it fairly plain so that I can evaluate it later--but your suggestions sound amazing. Thanks for the ideas! 👍😀
