Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Pour the melted butter in the bottom of a large baking dish. Swirl the dish to make sure the bottom is fully coated.
In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, milk, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk together until ingredients are combined and a batter is formed.
Pour the batter over the butter in the baking dish.
Pour the cherry pie filling over the batter. Spread it evenly in the dish, but do not stir.
Place the baking dish the oven and allow to bake until the crust has risen and become golden, and the edges of the cherry filling start to bubble, about 45 mins.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for five mins. Serve warm in individual bowls. Garnish with whipped cream or fresh chopped cherries.
Pro-tip: If you don't like cherries, this recipe can be followed with almost any other fruit: peaches, apples, or mixed berries would all be delicious.
Pro-tip: Make sure to avoid mixing the batter and cherry filling together. That will make the crust uneven while cooking.
