Recipe Pineapple-Upside Down Cakes

[TastyReuben]

PINEAPPLE-UPSIDE DOWN CAKES
Serves 4

Ingredients
4 TBunsalted butter
2/3 cup light brown sugar
4 pineapple slices (fresh or canned), 1/4 inch thick
2 hamburger buns, split
Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions
Heat oven to 350° F.

In a large ovenproof skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute for caramel sauce. Remove from heat.

Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer in the skillet. Top each slice with a bun half, cut-side down. Transfer to oven and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

With a spatula, invert each cake onto an individual plate and spoon any remaining caramel sauce over the top. Serve with the ice cream (if using).

NOTE: I was out of ice cream, so I topped mine with spray cream and a maraschino cherry.

Awesome. I have a few hamburger buns left, and I think I have a can of pineapple slices somewhere. And, of course, brown sugar is a weakness of mine.

That looked so yummy, I thought perfect for my kid, seems to be possible to do it rather quickly too! Great job!

I love pineapple upside down cake. Never thought of using a bun. Great idea!

Thanks, everyone! I'm making these again tonight, to finish off the can of pineapple slices.

First thing I cooked at high school home economics was pineapple upside down cake. Confirmed I loved cooking. The madness grew from there.

I've made it many times, but instead of making a big one, I make a small one from a recipe featured in an older Betty Crocker cookbook. I believe that it was in the 1972 edition.
