Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
Spread the two cans of fruit pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the fruit layer, ensuring it covers the fruit completely without stirring.
Place the thin slices of cold butter evenly across the surface of the dry cake mix to cover the flour as much as possible.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Notes

For the best results, ensure the butter is very cold when slicing to achieve a flakier crust. If you notice any dry flour patches halfway through baking, simply place a small extra pat of butter on that specific spot to help it incorporate and brown beautifully.
