Step by Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Next, spread apple filling in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. It doesn't have to be perfect, just smooth it out as much as possible.

Cake mix is sprinkled on top of apple pie filling in white baking dish.

Open the cake mix and sprinkle the dry cake mix over top of the apple mixture.

Melted butter and pecans are added on top of the spice cake mix in white baking dish.

Pour the melted butter over the dry cake mix. Lift up the baking dish and carefully tilt it back and forth to spread out the melted butter. Don't worry if there are a few patches of dry cake mix still showing, these will cook during the baking time.

Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
