Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 2 cans pecan pie filling (21 oz each)
  • 1 box butter pecan or yellow cake mix (15.25 oz) dry mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 2 sticks
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread the pecan pie filling evenly in the prepared dish.
  • Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the filling, covering it from edge to edge. Do not stir.
  • Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the entire surface so most of the cake mix is moistened.
  • Scatter the chopped pecans on top and gently press them into the surface.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
  • Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with ice cream.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10–15 minutes. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in a 300°F oven until warmed through. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free yellow cake mix.
