Pineapple Upside Down Cake

[Burnt Food Dude]

I got this recipe from my good friend Paula Deen. Actually I got it from her TV program on the FoodNetwork. I couldn't believe the simplicty of it and how good it tastes.


Ingredients:
10 oz crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice)
1/2 stick butter, soft
1/2 cup brown sugar
10 pitted cherries
1 package dinner rolls (10 in a tube)

You will also need a 12 muffin pan.

Preparation:
1. Grease the inside of the muffin pan and put some water in 2 of the holes. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Mix the pineapple, butter and brown sugar until well blended.
3. Divide the pineapple mixture between the 10 open muffin holes.
4. Place a cherry in the middle of each pineapple mixture and push it down until it reaches the bottom.
5. Open dinner roll tube and place 1 roll in each muffin hole that has pineapple mixture. You may have to stretch the dinner rolls a little so it fits to the sides leaving a space.
6. Pour some of the reserved pineapple juice on each roll letting the juice roll off in the each hole.
7. Place muffin tin in oven and cook for 12 to 15 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and leave set a few minutes to cool.
9. Place a cookie sheet on top of muffin tin and invert the whole thing. Don't forget to remove the hot water from the unused muffin holes.

You now have 10 little pineapple unsidedown cakes.

I like it. A lot. My only question would be... why not put the cherries in first and then pour the pineapple around it instead of pushing it down through to the bottom.

I wonder how it would work with orange or cinnamon rolls instead of regular dinner rolls.

I guess that when you mix the drained crushed pineapple, butter and brown sugar it is pretty thick. If you put the cherries in after the mixture you can make sure that it is in the center.

Probably because I enjoy cooking better than actually eating it!

I adore cooking and having people enjoy my food, but by the time I get something fixed, I will turn around and have a bowl of cereal!

Laura, I know how you feel. After a weekend of cooking at a comp I really don't want to eat BBQ.
