Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°. Add the cherry pie filling, vanilla extract, cinnamon and kosher salt to a 12-inch skillet coated with cooking spray; stir to combine.

Step 2

Cut the butter into cubes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cubes over the cherry filling. Pour the dry cake mix over the cherry mixture, patting into an even layer using your hands or a spoon. Scatter the remaining cubes of butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.

Step 3

Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the top of the cake is golden brown and the cherry mixture is bubbly, about 50 minutes.

Step 4

Top servings with cherry-vanilla ice cream, if you like.
