Combine cake mix, oil and water thoroughly in a large bowl. Set aside. Line a large grill pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Add pie filling then top with cake mixture.

Cook on a pre-heated grill over low heat for 12-15 minutes or until chips have melted.

• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• A dash of salt

Melt 6 tbsps. butter in a small saucepan then add sugar and nutmeg. Brush the pineapples with this mixture before cooking in a covered grill over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until pineapples are lightly browned. To make the sauce, melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan before adding brown sugar and whipped cream. Stir constantly and bring to a boil. Remove from heat before adding salt and vanilla extract. Pour sauce over grilled pineapples and serve with vanilla ice cream.
