Ingredients:
1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (do not prepare according to box directions)
* 1 (21 ounce) can pecan pie filling (or make your own with 1 ½ cups chopped pecans, 1 cup corn syrup, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ⅓ cup melted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
* 1 cup chopped pecans (for extra crunch, optional)
* 1 ½ sticks (¾ cup) unsalted butter, melted
* ½ cup milk (whole or 2% recommended)
Instructions:
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Layer the Filling: Pour the can of pecan pie filling evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If you’re using extra chopped pecans, sprinkle them over the filling now.
3. Add the Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the pecan pie filling layer. Make sure to cover it completely.
4. Melted Butter & Milk: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and milk until combined.
