Grandma Fish's Cherry Dump Cake

This recipe came from my Grandma Fish. Is is very rich, but it is absolutely delicious as well. I have been eating dump cake since I was around five. I cannot remember a time when it was not a family favorite. It is called Dump Cake because it is extremely easy to make. You just have to dump the ingredients in a pan and cook it. I cannot count the number of times I have made this dessert. It is that good! I should issue a warning though, it can be addicting! :)

1 box white or yellow cake mix

1 cup flaked coconut

In a 13x9 Pyrex pan spread cherry pie filling evenly. Then pour over dry cake mix. Pour melted butter on top. Then sprinkle with walnuts and coconut. Cook for 55-60 minutes at 325 degrees.
