Spread pie filling on bottom on pan. Spread pineapple on top of cherries, and add coconut next. Add dry cake mix. Cover with pats of butter and pecans on top. Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour.
NOTES: You may substitute peaches, strawberries, etc. My grandmother would usually use 1 ½ sticks of butter instead of 2. If you want the cake to be a little dryer, cover with foil and cook a little longer.
