1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats, divided
1 large egg

In a bowl, combine cake mix, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 cup of the oats with a wooden spoon until well blended ( mixture will be crumbly); reserve 1 cup of crumb mixture.
Stir the egg into the remaining mixture until blended; press into the bottom of prepared pan.
Pour cherry pie filling over the crust; spread evenly.
