- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional variation)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom.
