Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in its own juice
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Pour the crushed pineapple, including the juice, into the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the pineapple, keeping the layers distinct.
  4. Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layer, using a fork to level the powder and remove any large clumps.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the entire surface of the cake mix.
  6. Scatter chopped pecans over the buttered surface.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top has reached a deep mahogany hue.
