Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pour the cherry pie filling into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, egg, and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the cherry filling. Do not spread it out.
Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Grate the cold butter over the cake mix for maximum coverage.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
If necessary, melt or slice butter and add it to any dry spots near the end of baking.
Let it rest for 15 minutes before serving with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

For a variation, swap the cherry pie filling for other fruit fillings such as apple, peach, or blueberry.
Use white cake mix for a lighter flavor.
Add nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
