Ingredients

1 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple
1 21 ounce can of cherry pie filling
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1 cup chopped pecans
1 15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter 1 stick melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour crushed pineapple with juice into the pan and spread evenly. Pour cherry pie filling over. Sprinkle with coconut and pecans.
Sprinkle the cake mix over the pecans and coconut. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix.
Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

If you don't like pineapple, use 2 cans of cherry pie filling.
For flavor variations, you can switch out the cherry pie filling for other fruit filling like blueberry, peach, strawberry, or apple pie filling. Or use a chocolate cake mix for a black forest dump cake
If you don't like pecans, try other nuts like chopped walnuts or sliced almonds.
The melted butter will not cover the whole top of the cake mix, but do your best when drizzling it. It will all come out just fine.
This can be assembled in a slow cooker and cooked on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in a microwave-safe bowl for about 45 seconds.
