Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Pour both cans of cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling. Gently smooth the surface with clean, dry hands or the back of a spatula without pressing down too hard.
If slicing the butter: Evenly distribute the thin butter slices over the top of the cake mix. If melting the butter: Slowly pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix. Do not mix.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling actively around the edges and the top is deep golden-brown and crisp. Cool for at least 10 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
