Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 24 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
2 Cut each pineapple slice into 4 pieces; set aside. In large bowl, beat cake mix, oil, eggs and reserved pineapple juice with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
3 In small bowl, stir together melted butter and brown sugar. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons butter mixture into each muffin cup. Top each with 2 pineapple pieces. Place cherry half, cut side up, in center of pineapple pieces. Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each cup.
4 Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Run knife around edge of cupcakes to loosen; invert onto cookie sheet. Serve warm.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can use crushed pineapple instead of the pineapple rings. Just divide the pineapple evenly among the muffin cups.

White cake mix can be substituted for yellow, if desired.

These were really good and I like the concept of cupcakes! My can of pineapple (20oz.) didn't have enough pineapples for all 24, so on the remaining 4 cupcakes I just put the cherries on top. How cute would these be in a pretty box of 6 for a Valentines treat for co-workers or teachers or neighbors!! If you put them in the ice box be sure and put them in a air tight container! Very moist! Next time I might take advice and use tidbits!
