Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly butter a 9x13 baking dish.
  3. Spread the pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
  4. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top. Do not mix.
  5. Slice the butter into thin pats and place over the cake mix.
Baking
  1. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  2. Let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the butter covers all the cake mix to prevent dry patches. This dessert is often served warm with options like vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, or a drizzle of salted caramel.
