Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Dump the canned cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Top the cherry pie filling with the canned crushed pineapple, including its juice, spreading it out to create an even layer.
Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the fruit layers, ensuring no large clumps remain.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then drizzle it evenly across the top of the cake mix layer.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
