When something calls for a whole stick of melted butter you have my attention. And so super simple to throw together. It reminds me so much of my favorite Easy Cherry Dessert but in all the fall flavors!

Recipe Notes:

  • This recipe calls for a spice cake mix, don’t panic if you don’t have one – use yellow or white! It’s all good I promise. I just use a spice because it just enhances that fall vibe.
  • YES, you need a whole stick of melted butter. It helps bake the cake mix, it makes the crunch and really toasts the pecans.
  • You could potentially use canned pumpkin pie but know what is already in there before adding other ingredients – I like to control my spices so I don’t use it myself.
  • Don’t stress about the ounces of cake mix-you are using the cake mix dry so an ounce more or less isn’t going to hurt the recipe.
