Heat oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
Add the cans of apple pie filling to baking dish, followed by an evenly layer of cake mix.
Pour melted butter as evenly as you can and then topped with your chopped pecans.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbling and golden.
Allow it to sit for a few minutes to set slightly, then serve.

Drizzle the Butter Evenly: Try to cover as much of the cake mix as possible with the melted butter to avoid large patches of dry mix after baking. A few small dry spots are completely fine.
Watch the Pecans: Check the cake toward the end of the bake time. If the pecans are nicely toasted before the rest is ready, loosely tent the baking dish with foil.
Look for Bubbling: The apple mixture should be bubbling around the edges and the cake topping should be golden brown when it's ready.
Let It Rest: Give the warm cake a few minutes to sit before serving so the apple filling can settle slightly.
Don’t Mix: Don’t stir the apple filling and dry cake mix together. They’ll come together as the dump cake bakes.
Room Temperature: Once cooled, cover the baking dish and keep at room temperature for up to 1 day.
Refrigerator: Store leftovers covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer: Once completely cooled, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2-3 months. I recommend trying to use a container that will offer as little air as possible.
Reheating: Warm individual portions in the microwave or slowly reheat a larger portion in the oven until warmed through.
