This irresistible peach dump cake combines pie filling, cake mix, butter, and nuts for a dessert that tastes homemade but takes just minutes to prepare.
Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Place two cans of peach pie filling in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 box of dry cake mix over the pie filling. Gently pat the dry cake mix over the peaches.
Melt 4 ounces of butter and evenly pour the melted butter over the cake mix.
Add pecans to the top of the cake and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the cake has set, and the top is browned, and the peaches have become bubbly.

Recipe Tips
For best results, ensure butter pats cover the entire surface of the cake mix to prevent dry spots. Some bakers freeze butter for an hour before slicing into thin pats or even grating it to achieve the most even distribution. This technique prevents the powdery texture that can occur when butter doesn't melt evenly over the cake mix.
