JC, I have made this pineapple upside down cake for over 35 years - it is so easy!
Easy Pineapple-Upside Down Cake
1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
1 c. brown sugar
1 1 lb.14oz. can pineapple slices (I have used crushed, too)
Marischino cherry halves
1 pkg. cake mix (yellow, butter cake or pineapple flavor)
Melt butter in 13 X 9 pan. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly in pan. Drin Pineapple, save syrup. Arrange pineapple and cherries (rounded side down), on sugar mixture.
Add enough water to pineapple syrup to make 1 1/3 c. liquid. (Or as much liquid as called for on the box.) Prepare cake mix according to package directions, and pour over fruit.
Bake at 350 for about 50 - 60 minutes, or until cake pulls away from side of pan. Let stand for 5 minutes to let topping set. Turn upside down on platter (or foil covered cookie sheet.)
Yeild - up to 20, depending on size cut, and if there are any greedy people taking four or five peices on their plate.

Yorkie, that is my recipe, except I use both crushed pineapple and sliced pineapple. Everything else the same. They almost fought over it at church. I brought a couple of pieces home. I have had the recipe for a long time. The used to be neighbor that I visited recently, is the one who gave it to me. I agree it is the best!
