My dear wife discovered a disarmingly simple recipe for a really nice dessert.
Pick a can of pie filling. Lemon, apple, and cherry have all been tested in our house and work well. In the USA the "Lucky Leaf" pie filling in a 15 or 16 oz can is one ingredient. The other ingredient is a box of Duncan Hines angel-food cake mix.
Put the pie filling in the bottom of an 8x13 (inch) cake pan. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY add the angel food cake mix. The emphatic warnings are because that particular cake mix is almost like confectioner's sugar so you need to mix it in slowly and gently or it gets all over the place and makes a mess. Stir the mix into the filling so that you get a shapeless and apparently uniform consistency blob.
Now pre-heat the oven to 350 degr F and bake for 30-35 minutes. During baking, this will appear to expand like it wants to blow up inside your oven, but then it starts to shrink. Watch to assure you don't start charring the top by leaving it in too long. Remove from oven, let cool for a short while. Slice into small squares or small rectangles for serving.
In the case of lemon, it is a light, smooth, and totally non-cloying dessert. If your favorite pie filling has fruit chunks, be sure to chop up the biggest pieces before mixing in the cake mix. Notice how easy: Two ingredients, mix (carefully), bake, enjoy.
