  2. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  3. Evenly spread 20 ounces (1 1/4 cups) drained crushed pineapple and its juice in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread 21 ounces (1 1/2 cups) cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple.
  5. Sprinkle 1 box (15.25 ounces) dry yellow cake mix over the cherries.
  6. Evenly distribute 1 cup chopped pecans over the cake mix.
  7. Thinly slice 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine and arrange over the pecans.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
