Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes
However, note that you need to have jumbo muffin tins to make them as regular muffin tins are too small, so the pineapple slices will not quite fit in the bottoms.
The butter and brown sugar mix makes a beautiful glaze that makes the tops of these cakes even tastier!
Ingredients:
- 2 cans pineapple slices
- maraschino cherries, cut in half
