Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter lightly.
Spread apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of your dish as the first delicious layer.
Mix pumpkin puree with cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl until everything is nicely combined.
Spread the pumpkin mixture carefully over the apple layer, smoothing it out across the whole dish evenly.
Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer without stirring or mixing anything at all.
Distribute sliced butter pats evenly across the cake mix, covering as much of the top as you can.
Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling beautifully all around.
Let cool for 15 minutes before serving warm with toppings like ice cream or whipped cream. ENJOY!

Cover with foil if browning too fast, then remove it during the last 10 minutes so it finishes nicely.
Store covered in the fridge for up to four days, and warm up pieces whenever you want some.
This tastes best served warm with cold vanilla ice cream or fluffy whipped cream piled on top generously.
Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, since that one already has spices and sugar mixed in.
For a crispier top, spread butter evenly everywhere and bake until it's deeply golden brown all over.
