Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes

I made these & took them to my Dr.’s office & the girls in there ate them all & now I make them every other month. I was afraid to take them since it was the 1st time I had ever made them... I love them too... I have never tried them with the bourbon so I might have to try that.

Made these tonight with great success! I melted the butter and brown sugar in a skillet, added my well drained pineapple and 1/4 cup bourbon and brown to a simmer. Spooned my topping over the cherry in the tins and covered with the mixed batter. So easy and I got rave reviews! Thanks for the great recipe!

What sized can pineapple?

ABSOLUTE MUST! This is a super easy recipe and they turned out beautiful and decadent. Make sure you spray your cupcake/muffin tin w/cooking spray as they will pop out easier. My family and coworkers said this is by far the best recipe for pineapple upside down cake because of them being in good portion, :)

I just made these on Mon. This is the greatest recipe :) They are so moist and look so pretty. I will make them again and again. Thanks for the recipe.

I just wanted to share that I made these, they were so pretty, I doctored up the yellow mix like I do and when they're covered for over a day, they aren't as nice. I had packed them all up for my son to come get them and it was delayed by a day. So. I only have one pan, made 2 dozen then had enough left for 8-in square. Used crushed pineapple well drained. Would definitely do again. Also cut huge gorgeous cherries in half. I did have a sticky sticking problem. Am using more butter next time.

Sounds awesome... will try this for my next class party.. since I'm known at my school for being the cupcake lady.. sure everyone will love! And it's, not chocolate, so my better half can eat this! I know he will love these! Thanks!!

My son texted me and said he wanted PUC. Hmmmm. Had to think a couple minutes. Pineapple upsidedown cakes, think I had mentioned how cute these were. So I'm going to try these and normally stick to the plain mixes but will pick up the pineapple if they have it. And some cherries. And an extra can of crushed pineapple. So what's not to like about the cherry? He never liked them. Well, he can just pick them off then. I always liked to stick cherries in my PUC's. My fav is AUC with cherries though.

i made these for my girl and i got the omg they are good tricks to get a great cupcake use crushed pineapple and spray the whole miffin tin with pam as they pop right out if you have to loosen them use a plastic knife from mcdonalds as it wont scratch your coating on your muffin tin just trying to be helpful great recipe worked like a champ thanks

Are you using the jumbo cupcake/muffin tin? it looks like in in the picture.

Was going to make these until I realized I have Pineapple tidbits in heavy syrup and not in juice....ugh!! Hopefully i'll get to make these soon!!

I can't always find Pineapple cake mix, so I use the Delux Butter. I also use the Pineapple Juice, but I like to use 1/3C Juice, 1/3C Malibu Rum instead of water. Tried the cupcake variation today vs skillet. They turned out great!

I used "I can't believe it's not butter" for this recipe and it turned out very well. The cupcakes were very moist.

I made these for a bat mitzvah today and they were fantastic. I used a stick of butter in the cake instead of oil and used the pineapple juice. I used crushed pineapple, but it seemed a little mushy to me -- cooked up beautifully, but next time I will use tidbits and chop them in the Cuisinart a few times instead. I also mixed the melted butter and brown sugar before putting them in the bottom of the muffin pans, and I used dark brown sugar. Incredibly good! Points off, I guess, for using a rival brand of yellow cake mix...but it was what I had on hand.

OK, I confess I have used other flavors, as well as pineapple supreme, to make mine. I used the strawberry and lemon (still added the pineapple juice in place of the water) and got amazing results. The strawberry had a cute slightly pink color and the lemon had a brighter flavor.
