Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9X13-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Spread apple pie filling over the bottom of the cake pan. Sprinkle dried cranberries over the top. Evenly sprinkle and spread the butter pecan cake mix over the fruit.

Pour melted butter equally over the top of the cake mix. Use a knife to swirl the butter into the cake mix to remove any big pools of melted butter. Do not over mix. Top with the chopped pecans.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or next to a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

* A box of yellow cake mix can be substituted.
