--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      box           cake mix
  20      ounces        crushed pineapple in syrup -- undrained
   1      can           cherry pie filling
   1      cup           pecans -- chopped
     1/2  cup           margarine

Preparation:

* Use a standard sized cake mix, but do not use one with pudding in the mix. Some good choices are German chocolate or plain chocolate mix. Use a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan -- important for even baking. Do not grease pan. 1. Pour the undrained pineapple in pan and spread evenly. Layer the pie filling fairly evenly over pineapple. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over and pat down with fingertips VERY LIGHTLY. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over mix and dot with the margarine cut into tiny pieces. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until set when pressed lightly with fingers. Serve warm or cold.
