Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9 X13 inch baking dish with nonstick baking spray.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract into each can of cherry pie filling. Pour both cans of cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish.
Evenly spread cake mix (1 box) over top of the cherry pie filling and press down firmly.
Sprinkle the almonds (1/2 cup) over the cake mix.
Arrange butter slices evenly over the top of the cake mix.
Bake in the preheated oven, for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is deep golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm.

Press down the cake mix- Where the cake mix meets the fruit is the most delicious, moist, fruity cake. Pressing down the filling into the fruit a bit creates more of that yummy layer.
Layer the butter- I don’t like the drizzle method of melted butter over the top of the cake. Instead, chill the butter and cut it into even slices. Layer the slices in rows over the top of the cake mix so you don’t get pools of butter or pockets of dry cake mix. It also gives the top a nice crunch and golden finish!
