Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Nonstick spray or butter for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread crushed pineapple evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  3. Spoon cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple layer.
  4. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layers.
  5. Distribute butter slices evenly over the cake mix.
  6. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Do not stir the layers — this helps create the distinct textures.
  • Substitute with other pie fillings like blueberry or apple for variety.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Toast the pecans for an extra crunch and nutty flavor.
