1 Box white or yellow cake mix
1/4 lb Butter or margarine, at room

In a mixer blend the cake mix with the butter until it is fine and
crumbly. Take out and save about 1 cup of the mixture. The remainder
is pressed into the bottom of a 9×14″ baking pan. Bake at 350* for
about 15 minutes, or until lightly brown. Pour the cherry pie
filling over the hot baked crust. Mix the chopped nuts to the
remaining cake mix mixture, and sprinkle over the pie filling. Return
to the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the mix mixture is
lightly browned. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped
cream. Variations might be: Use chocolate cake mix and use apple pie
filling, or chocolate cake mix and cherry pie filling…. use your
imaginations.
