Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling. Do not mix.
Slice the butter into thin pats and distribute them evenly across the surface of the cake mix.
If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
