Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 1 box (about 15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ground cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional)
  • nonstick spray or butter, for greasing the dish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread the crushed pineapple (with its juice) evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  • Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple layer.
  • Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit—do not stir.
  • Arrange the butter slices over the cake mix to cover the surface as evenly as possible.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top. Add a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.

  • Let cool slightly (10–15 minutes) before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
