I love canned cherry pie filling and if given the chance, will devour it by spoonfuls right out of the can. Washington's Birthday was just the excuse I needed to make this very tasty Land O'Lakes Cherry Coffee Cake in my dutch oven. Kind of an old fashioned coffee cake that pairs perfectly with a steaming cup of coffee, crunchy on the top and light and airy in the middle. In my 12 inch dutch oven the cake baked for 45 minutes with 12 coals in a ring around the base of the oven, 18 placed in a ring around the outside of the lid with 10 spaced evenly in the center. Drop large spoonfuls of batter on top of the cherry filling then carefully spread with a knife. For something different, substitute the cherry flavor with any 21 oz can of your favorite pie filling.
