Ingredients
  

  • 2 (15-oz) cans pie-filling (peaches or mixed berries)
  • 1 box yellow or white cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats or shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  • Spread the pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix over the fruit in an even layer.
  • Scatter chopped nuts, if using, and dot the entire surface with cold butter pats.
  • Lightly dust with cinnamon and salt.
  • Bake on the center rack for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and fruit is bubbling.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips on choosing ingredients: Use good-quality pie-filling with real fruit chunks for best texture. Keep the butter cold for even melting. Cinnamon adds a cozy aroma.
